On The Cover: Grafting is an ancient agricultural practice that joins the root system
(rootstock) of one plant to the shoot (scion) of another to indirectly manipulate the scion
phenotype. While recent research has focused on scions, on pages 418–437 Allison
J. Miller and colleagues investigate developing areas of rootstock research, including
molecular interactions and rootstock microbiomes. With growing interest in perennial
crops as valuable components of sustainable agriculture, rootstocks provide one
mechanism by which to improve and expand woody perennial cultivation in a range of
environmental conditions. Cover design by Susanne C. Brink.
