hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum L. and S. habrochaites S. Knapp & D.M. Spooner
In tomato agronomy, interspecific hybrids of Solanum lycopersicum and S. habrochaites are used exclusively as rootstock, not as scion.
In the reference 39 varieties crop hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum L. and S. habrochaites S. Knapp & D.M. Spooner, where this is mentioned in the description.
Tomato grafting is based on a strict division of roles, where interspecific hybrids of S. lycopersicum × S. habrochaites function as rootstock, providing adaptation to abiotic stresses and soil-borne pathogens. In this process, cultivated varieties of Solanum lycopersicum serve exclusively as the scion, responsible for the development of marketable fruit quality.
The use of S. lycopersicum × S. habrochaites interspecific hybrids as a scion is not practiced and is not a breeding objective, as wild genomes do not contribute to improving consumer fruit properties. The physiological advantage of such a combination lies in the transmission of hormonal signals from the rootstock to the scion, which increases the resilience of the cultivated plant.
