e2“we screened a tomato rootstock ‘QZ71’ with resistance to salt, saline‐alkali, drought stress, Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora capsici root rot”
e3“Salt alone had a greater effect than P. capsici infection alone, and the adverse impact was worsened under combined stresses”

- Observation Tomato rootstock QZ71 showed resistance to salt, saline-alkali, drought stress, Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora capsici root rot.
- Intervention effect Rootstock grafting increased resistance to single and combined salt and P. capsici stress compared with self-rooted cultivar STG2.
- Intervention effect Salt alone had a greater effect than P. capsici infection alone.
- Mechanism Grafting-enhanced resistance was related to maintaining K+/Na+ homeostasis.
- Mechanism Grafting-enhanced resistance was related to increased defensive enzyme activities and lignin biosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Grafting significantly increased SA content in tomato.
- Intervention effect Grafting significantly increased expression of SA signalling marker genes SlNPR1 and SlPR-1.
- Intervention effect SA-deficient NahG rootstock grafting attenuated tomato resistance.
- Intervention effect SA-deficient NahG rootstock grafting inhibited expression of ion transporters and defence enzymes.
- Intervention effect SA-deficient NahG rootstock grafting inhibited lignin synthesis and SA signalling marker gene expression.
- Mechanism QZ71 rootstock enhanced resistance to single and combined salt and P. capsici stress by activating the SA signalling pathway.
