Contrasting Rootstock-Mediated Growth and Yield Responses in Salinized Pepper Plants (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.) Are Associated with Changes in the Hormonal Balance

Contrasting Rootstock-Mediated Growth and Yield Responses in Salinized Pepper Plants (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.) Are Associated with Changes in the Hormonal Balance

Salinity provokes an imbalance of vegetative to generative growth, thus impairing crop productivity. Unlike breeding strategies, grafting is a direct and quick alternative to improve salinity tolerance in horticultural crops, through rebalancing plant development. Providing that hormones play a key...
