Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingCan a mango rootstock alter hormone signals reaching the scion?
Mango experiments have found differences in hormones transported in xylem sap among contrasting rootstock combinations. This provides one possible physiological connection between the root system and shoot growth. It does not make a sap result a complete prediction of field performance. Evaluate the combination's actual growth and cropping rather than trying to reproduce a rootstock effect with an improvised hormone treatment.
