We investigated effects of salinity on the growth and net gas exchange of CO 2 and water vapour in leaves of 2-year-old ‘Sunburst’ mandarin [( Citrus reticulata Blanco)×( Citrus paradisi Macf.× C. reticulata)] trees grafted on either Cleopatra mandarin ( C. reticulata) or Carrizo citrange ( Citrus s...
