Grafting has now transformed to a type of asexual hybridization in which heritable
changes may be induced by grafting. This graft hybridization concept was first put forth
by Darwin. In the beginning there was a refusal to accept this concept, believing it to be
a type of chimera. But the extensive work done in bell pepper (Capsicum) has proved
that this graft hybridization is quite different from chimera and involves a special grafting
method known as ‘mentor grafting’. The hereditary changes due to this graft hybridization
and also the work done on its mechanism in capsicum have added strength to this
concept. In future, this graft hybridization may open up new avenues in plant breeding
and improvement of many crops
