Abstract
In breeding tomatoes for resistance to “Corky root” Lycopersicum glandulosum is used as a resistant parent. Crosses of tomato with L. glandulosum are difficult to effect because of the incompatibility of the partners. To overcome this incompatibility the “approach method” was applied beside the conventional crosses.
Repeated reciprocal grafting of tomato onto L. glandulosum and also L. glandulosum on tomato did not increase the number of effected matings. The statement that by repeated grafting the characters of the scion change under the influence of the stock could not be confirmed.
