The results of a grafted scion (donor plant) and a mother plant (stock) does not combine the DNA of both plants to make a hybrid of the two plants. Each part is a clone of the original, there is no mixing of genetic traits between the stock and scion. A cutting from the grafted scion is a clone of the original donor plant not a combination of the two.

Hybrid plants are not created by grafting techniques, but by cross pollination. Many plants are grafted to hardy rootstocks to increase survival and disease and pest resistance, but this technique does not create hybrid plants by combining genetic information.
