Tolerance to water deficit in diploid (2x) and doubled diploid (4x) 'Carrizo citrange' (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck × Poncirus trifoliata [L.] Raf) was investigated. Water deficit was applied for 4 weeks. Physiological parameters, including stomatal conductance (gs), photosynthesis (A), transpiration (E), leaf and soil water potentials (?leaf; ?soil), and pot water loss, were monitored throughout ...
