Nevertheless, its practice remains limited mainly due to inconsistent graft success and difficulties in predicting graft compatibility responses of proposed scion\u2013rootstock combinations, slowing down the selection of elite rootstocks. Aiming to identify optimal phenotypic parameters related to graft (in)compatibility, we used four clones of two grapevine cultivars that show different compatibility behavior when grafted onto the same rootstock. Several physiological parameters, internal anatomy of the graft union, chlorophyll fluorescence, and pigment contents of homo- and heterografts were monitored in a nursery-grafting context. The measurements highlighted enhanced performance of the heterografts due to rooting difficulties of Vitis vinifera homografts. This suggests that in viticulture, homografts should only be used as compatibility controls regarding qualitative attributes. By observing the internal anatomy of the union, we found that grapevines might require longer times for graft healing than anticipated. While Affinity Coefficients were not informative to assess incompatibility, leaf chlorophyll concentration analysis proved to be a more sensitive indicator of stress than the analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence. Overall, we conclude that graft take correlated best with callus formation at the graft junction three weeks after grafting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/agronomy10050706","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,15]],"date-time":"2020-05-15T10:53:59Z","timestamp":1589540039000},"page":"706","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["A Phenotypic Search on Graft Compatibility in Grapevine"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7380-5983","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Tedesco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Plant Cell Biotechnology Lab, Instituto de Tecnologia Qu\u00edmica e Biol\u00f3gica Ant\u00f3nio Xavier (Green-it Unit), Avenida da Rep\u00fablica, Esta\u00e7\u00e3o Agron\u00f3mica Nacional, 2780-157 Oeiras, Portugal"},{"name":"Max Planck Institut f\u00fcr Molekulare Pflanzenphysiologie, Wissenschaftspark Golm, Am M\u00fchlenberg 1, 14476 Potsdam, Germany"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Pina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Hortofruticultura, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n y Tecnolog\u00eda Agroalimentaria de Arag\u00f3n (CITA), Instituto Agroalimentario de Arag\u00f3n-IA2 (CITA-Universidad de Zaragoza), Av.
