Abstract

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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A plant tissue comprising two different-family plant tissues grafted through a graft medium, the graft medium including a plant tissue of Nicotiana benthamiana in which the graft medium has two surfaces cut for grafting and is an interstock between the two different-family plants,

2. A method for producing a plant tissue, comprising grafting two different-family plant tissues through a graft medium, the graft medium including a plant tissue of Nicotiana benthamiana , wherein the graft medium has two surfaces cut for grafting and is an interstock between the two different-family plants wherein each of the two different-family plant tissues belongs to a genus selected from the group consisting of Capsella Cardamine, Abelia, Alternanthera, Anemone, Anthurium, Antirrhinum, Arachis, Buckleya, Callistephus, Cardiospermum, Catharanthus, Chamaecyparis, Chrysanthemum, Cinnamomum, Citrus, Cleome, Consolida, Cryptotaenia, Cucumis, Cyrtomium, Daucus, Eustoma, Fallopia, Fragaria, Gentiana, Geranium, Glycine, Gossypium, Grevillea, Heucherella, Houttuynia, Ipomoea, Lavandula, Lotus, Malus, Medicago, Melilotus, Pachira, Pachysandra, Perilla, Phtheirospermum, Pisum, Populus, Quercus, Rhododendron, Rosa, Salix, Sarcandra, Scabiosa, Sesamum, Spinacia, Stevia, Trifolium, Trigonella, Vaccinium, Vicia, Vigna, Vinca, Viola , and Vitis.

3. A plant tissue comprising a first plant tissue of Nicotiana benthamiana and a different-family plant tissue grafted with the first plant tissue, in which the first plant tissue has a surface cut for grafting,
wherein the different-family plant tissue belongs to a genus selected from the group consisting of Capsella, Cardamine, Abelia, Alternanthera, Anemone, Anthurium, Antirrhinum, Arachis, Buckleya, Callistephus, Cardiospermum, Catharanthus, Chamaecyparis, Chrysanthemum, Cinnamomum, Citrus, Cleome, Consolida, Cryptotaenia, Cucumis, Cyrtomium, Daucus, Eustoma, Fallopia, Fragaria, Gentiana, Geranium, Glycine, Gossypium, Grevillea, Heucherella, Houttuynia, Ipomoea, Lavandula, Lotus, Malus, Medicago, Melilotus, Pachira, Pachysandra, Perilla, Phtheirospermum, Pisum, Populus, Quercus, Rhododendron, Rosa, Salix, Sarcandra, Scabiosa, Sesamum, Spinacia, Stevia, Trifolium, Trigonella, Vaccinium, Vicia, Vigna, Vinca, Viola , and Vitis.

4. A plant body comprising the plant tissue according to claim 1 .

5. The plant body according to claim 4 , further comprising a plant tissue of a cultivar.

6. A method for producing a crop, comprising harvesting a crop from the plant body according to claim 5 .

7. A method for identifying a graft medium between two different-family plants, comprising steps (a) to (c):
(a) grafting a subject plant tissue with a different-family plant tissue to obtain a plant body, in which the subject plant tissue is a plant tissue of Nicotiana benthamiana,

wherein the different-family plant tissue belongs to a genus selected from the group consisting of Capsella, Cardamine, Abelia, Alternanthera, Anemone, Anthurium, Antirrhinum, Arachis, Buckleya, Callistephus, Cardiospermum, Catharanthus, Chamaecyparis, Chrysanthemum, Cinnamomum, Citrus, Cleome, Consolida, Cryptotaenia, Cucumis, Cyrtomium, Daucus, Eustoma, Fallopia, Fragaria, Gentiana, Geranium, Glycine, Gossypium, Grevillea, Heucherella, Houttuynia, Ipomoea, Lavandula, Lotus, Malus, Medicago, Melilotus, Pachira, Pachysandra, Perilla, Phtheirospermum, Pisum, Populus, Quercus, Rhododendron, Rosa, Salix, Sarcandra, Scabiosa, Sesamum, Spinacia, Stevia, Trifolium, Trigonella, Vaccinium, Vicia, Vigna, Vinca, Viola , and Vitis;
(b) culturing the plant body; and
(c) when the cultured plant body does not die, selecting the subject plant tissue as a graft medium between two different-family plants.

8. A method for identifying a graft medium between two different-family plants, comprising steps (d) to (f):
(d) grafting two plant tissues of two different-family plants through a subject plant tissue to obtain a plant body, wherein the subject plant tissue is a plant tissue of Nicotiana benthamiana and is an interstock between the two different-family plants, wherein each of the two different-family plant tissues belongs to a genus selected from the group consisting of Abelia, Alternanthera, Anemone, Anthurium, Antirrhinum, Arachis, Buckleya, Callistephus, Capsella, Cardamine, Cardiospermum, Catharanthus, Chamaecyparis, Chrysanthemum, Cinnamomum, Citrus, Cleome, Consolida, Cryptotaenia, Cucumis, Cyrtomium, Daucus, Eustoma, Fallopia, Fragaria, Gentiana, Geranium, Glycine, Gossypium, Grevillea, Heucherella, Houttuynia, Ipomoea, Lavandula, Lotus, Malus, Medicago, Melilotus, Pachira, Pachysandra, Perilla, Phtheirospermum, Pisum, Populus, Quercus, Rhododendron, Rosa, Salix, Sarcandra, Scabiosa, Sesamum, Spinacia, Stevia, Trifolium, Trigonella, Vaccinium, Vicia, Vigna, Vinca, Viola , and Vitis;
(e) culturing the plant body; and
