graft
graft 1. (noun) A small piece of
tissue implanted into an intact organism.
2. (verb) To transfer a part of an organism from its normal position to another position on the same organism (autograft), or to a different organism of the same species (homograft), or an organism of a different species (heterograft). The source of the part that is grafted is called the scion and the organism to which it is united is called the stock. A graft
hybrid is an organism made up of two genetically distinct tissues resulting from the fusion of scion and stock after grafting. In cultivation, a stem from the plant (the scion) is fused with a rooted portion of another (the stock) to form a single plant. Most fruit trees are produced by grafting, the type of fruit being determined by the scion, but the size of the tree by the stock.
