Detailed explanation-1: -Grafting and budding are horticultural techniques used to join parts from two or more plants so that they appear to grow as a single plant. In grafting, the upper part (scion) of one plant grows on the root system (rootstock ) of another plant. In the budding process, a bud is taken from one plant and grown on another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plant grafting is a vegetative propagation technique that connects two severed plant segments together. The chimera, consisting of the scion and rootstock, survives as a new individual after wound healing.
Detailed explanation-3: -(a) Grafting is a method of artificial propagation in which the stem of two plants are cut, one with and the other without roots. These stems are then joined together to form a single plant. (b) The lower portion of the graft, i.e. the stem with roots is termed as a stock.
Detailed explanation-4: -Grafting is a process of joining two plants together to grow as one. It involves placing of bud into or on the stem, roots, leaves of another plant. The part that provides the root is called the stock and the part that is attached is called the scion.
