Abstract Knowledge about the root system structure and the uptake efficiency of root orders
is critical to understand the adaptive plasticity of plants towards salt stress. Thus, this study …

Knowledge about the physiological function of root orders is scant. In this study, a system to
monitor the water flux among root orders was developed using miniaturized chambers …

The results presented in this work were obtained with two citrus genotypes, the chloride‐
tolerant Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan.) and the chloride‐sensitive Carrizo …

Forty-five-day-old seedlings of sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) and Citrus macrophylla
Wester, the most commonly used rootstocks in lemon orchards, were grown in nutrient …

The accumulation of salt deposits in the soil is becoming a major problem in agriculture. The
problem can affect citrus production, which is already seriously hindered in Florida by the …

Accessing freshwater resources for agriculture becomes more complex due to increasing
demands and declining water quality. Alternative water sources, such as saline water …

Abstract Background and Aims Studies of the plasticity of functional root traits involved in
resource acquisition have focused mainly on root length without considering such …

Citrus is a major horticultural crop worldwide and is relatively salt sensitive. Salt damage
usually manifests as leaf burn and defoliation, and is associated with accumulation of toxic …

Our study aimed to evaluate the physiological responses following salinity treatment of three
putatively salt-tolerant Citrus rootstocks recently developed by the University of Florida's …

The water relations responses to salt of several important citrus rootstocks such as Swingle
citrumelo, sour orange, and Milam lemon have not been studied in detail before. Studies …
