TL;DR: The auxin/cytokinin ratio in the leaves and roots may explain both the salinity-induced decrease in shoot vigour and the shift in biomass allocation to the roots, in agreement with changes in the activity of the sink-related enzyme cell wall invertase.

TL;DR: Enhancing root cytokinin synthesis modified both shoot hormonal and ionic status, thus ameliorating salinity-induced decreases in growth and yield.

TL;DR: Although the underlying physiological mechanisms by which rootstocks mediate leaf area or chlorophyll fluorescence seem complex, a putative potassium-CK interaction involved in regulating both processes merits further attention.

TL;DR: The present results strongly support the conclusion that IAA originating from the leaves and transported in the stem through the polar auxin transport pathway was decisive in controlling adventitious rooting.

TL;DR: Significant crosstalk between auxin levels, stress hormone homeostasis and sugar availability in the base of the stem cuttings in carnation during the initial steps of adventitious rooting is indicated.
