Abstract:

Grafting has been extensively utilized in cucumber production and cultivation,significantly boosting plant stress resistance,yield,and fruit quality. The success rate of grafting and the quality of grafted seedlings are jointly influenced by various factors,including grafting techniques and healing conditions. Clarifying the mechanisms and influencing factors associated with the healing process of cucumber grafting,as well as exploring the application of non-destructive testing techniques in this context,holds considerable significance for optimizing industrialized grafting seedling production systems. Consequently,this paper summarizes the histological,cytological,physiological and biochemical,molecular,and phenotypic omics mechanisms underlying the cucumber grafting healing process. It also reviews the impacts of stock-scion compatibility,grafting methods,seedling age,hormones,nutrients,and environmental factors on the healing process. Additionally,the paper provides insights into cucumber grafting healing mechanisms and production applications from five perspectives:the establishment of non-destructive testing models for cucumber grafting healing,the exploration of exogenous substance application methods,the analysis of the internal mechanisms by which grafting methods affect healing,the functional validation of key genes related to grafting healing,and the influence of environmental factors on the synthesis and transport of endogenous substances in grafted plants. The ultimate goal is to offer a reference for non-destructive testing of grafted cucumber seedlings,optimization of grafting techniques,and precise regulation of healing environments in subsequent production processes.

Key words: cucumber, graft, healing process, graft healing environment
