Provided is a novel plant body comprising a plant tissue of a plant belonging to the family Solanaceae, Brassicaceae, Lamiaceae, or Orobanchaceae, wherein graft incompatibility is avoided or suppressed by using a graft medium between different-family plants.

A seedling nursery member for grafting according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes at least one seedling nursery unit. At least one seedling nursery unit includes a stem storage section configured to store a stem of a plant and a stem holder configured to hold the stem of the plant. At least a portion of the stem storage section of the at least one seedling nursery unit is configured to be openable so as to allow communication between an inside of the stem storage section and an outside of the at least one seedling nursery unit in a direction different from a growth direction of the plant.

Provided herein are methods for providing improved vigor, and especially priming or improving root formation, of plant cuttings and to plant cuttings obtained thereby. Specifically, the methods include the steps of a) contacting a plant cutting with a polymeric solution, or suspension, optionally including one or more plant growth promoting and/or plant protecting compounds, thereby providing a coated plant cutting; b) allowing the polymeric solution, or suspension, of the coated plant cutting to solidify into a complexed coating, thereby providing an encapsulated plant cutting. The encapsulated plant cutting is coated with the complexed coating from the basal cut surface or tip of the plant cutting to less than 60% of the total length of said plant cutting to partially encapsulate the plant cutting with the complexed coating.

The present invention discloses a high stem grafted herbaceous plant. The high stem grafted plant comprises herbaceous scion engrafted upon a rootstock at a predetermined height of at least 7 cm. The present invention further provides novel high stem grafted propagation material and methods for producing the high stem grafted herbaceous plant.
