Technically there is, it's just restricted to the contact zone tissue.There is no transfer of genetics between rootstock and scion.
"It" can't, but that goes for regular sexual transfer as well, selective breeding is something a breeder will still have to do as it's a very messy brute force way to mix the genetics. So it's not like a gene is isolated first and transferred individually of course, but, it does allow for crossing species that cannot be crossed using regular means.Interesting info. Am wondering how a rootstock can impart say...cold hardiness without messing with the taste of the fruit.
I don't think that's what UB meant with being dominant, grafting is not a means of transferring genetics. At least not directly. The DNA exchange is restricted to the contact zone between stock and scion, and not as far as between scions.
So, are you implying here that it would be a waste of time to graft several strains to one mother root zone, because it would eventually pull one strain characteristics to be more dominant anyway???
I honestly do not know, and am purely asking....for more knowledge. thank you
? Ask aroundOk, so let me get this straight...........I can take a cut from my MOM, and graft it to, let's say, my rose bush and it will resprout in the spring???

where's my "" fuckin really like's "" button?? LolIt works just fine. They plant will not "drift" or anything. If you graft properly, it will work just fine.
Grafting two different varieties togetehr (species) is a different story. It can be done, but the plants vascular systems have to match up or it won't work. You can't put a cannabis plant on an orange tree, but you can put a lemon branch on one for sure. The connection part is almost like breeding. You can't cross two animals that arent genetically compatable and just get a chimera. You can cross certain ones tho and make things like a mule or liger, although since they aren't very genetically compatible even then, the animals are usually sterile, and often have to be artificially fertilized. Otherwise peopel would be putting cannabis on oak trees andhaving perennial monsters giving tons of bud every year lmao
