Water relations of Fino lemon plants on two rootstocks under flooded conditions

Physiological responses of apricot plants grafted on two different rootstocks to flooding conditions

“…1). A similar slow recovery period was found in citrus plants flooded for 8 days (Ruiz-Sánchez et al 1996).…”

“…Plants grafted onto Real Fino apricot and Pollizo prune rootstocks developed similar mechanisms to confront short term soil flooding conditions The early leaf conductance and net photosynthesis response seems to suggest that porometric and/or photosynthetic changes are reliable bioindicators of the altered behaviour caused by flooding in apricot plants, as has been proposed in lemon (Ruiz-Sánchez et al 1996) and kiwi fruit (Savé and Serrano 1986).…”

Modulation of the antioxidant system in citrus under waterlogging and subsequent drainage

“…Progressive decreases in soil oxygen concentration and redox potential are major physiological consequences of soil flooding (Ruizsanchez et al, 1996;Syvertsen et al, 1983). Like other crops, citrus trees respond to flooding by reducing leaf water potential, stomatal conductance, gas exchange and plant growth Vu and Yelenosky, 1991).…”

Water relations, chlorophyll a fluorescence, and contents of saccharides in tree species of a tropical forest in response to flood

“…Physiological changes associated with flooding include a reduction in leaf conductance (g s ) and photosynthetic rate, P N (Pezeshki 1993, Batzli and Dawson 1997, Fernández et al 1999, the development of water deficit in the leaves (Crawford 1982, Ruiz-Sánchez et al 1996, different response to following drought (Elcan and Pezeshki 2002), and a decreased xylem water potential (ψ) and leaf sap osmotic potential (ψ s ).…”
