But grafting is also an excellent tool for scientists studying systemic signals traveling between the rootstock and distal parts of the plants, and vice versa.
(1997) were the first to unambiguously demonstrate that silencing spreads from a silenced rootstock to a nonsilenced scion.
In the first type of grafting experiment, called top grafting, a 5-cm scion cut into a wedge at the bottom was inserted into the vascular ring at the cut surface of a 50-cm-high rootstock (Figure 1A).
There, too, silencing spread through the graft to the nonsilenced scion, even when a wild-type section was grafted between transgenic rootstock and scion.
Surprisingly, only top grafting resulted in scions that were systemically silenced by a rootstock signal.
