An international research team has uncovered that natural interbreeding in the wild between tomato plants and potato-like species from South America about 9 million years ago gave rise to the modern-day potato.

        You can graft but not interbreed them.

        And when grafted the nicotine level of the tomatoes is within normal limits. Tomatoes normally have a little nicotine since they’re nightshades
