This study mainly introduces the role of dwarfing rootstocks in tomato cultivation. They can help regulate the growth intensity of plants, enhance their stress resistance, and make the utilization of water and nutrients more efficient. It also explores the impact of dwarfing rootstocks on yield stability, fruit quality and management efficiency under different planting environments, and analyzes the commonly used dwarfing rootstocks in the current market. Their genetic origins, hormone regulation methods, and how they interact with scions were evaluated. The performance of dwarfing rootstocks in the face of difficult environments such as drought, salinity and alkalinity, and high temperature was examined through actual cases to see if they could maintain yield and quality under these conditions. This study aims to provide some theoretical support and technical references for the establishment of an efficient, stable and climate-adaptive tomato cultivation system in the future.
