Table 2. Leaf growth parameters (biomass, in g DW; and leaf expansion area, in cm2) and total Fe concentration on DW (in μg g−1DW) and surface (in μg cm−2) bases measured in the non-chlorotic and chlorotic fully expanded leaves of ‘Navelina’ orange trees.

Non-chlorotic Chlorotic ANOVA
Leaf growth parameters
 Biomass (g DW) 0.358 0.227 *
 Leaf expansion area (cm2) 21.4 15.7 *
Total Fe concentration
 μg g−1 DW 65.6 60.7 ns
 μg cm−2 1.10 0.88 *

Notes:

Values are the mean of six biological replicates (n = 6). For a comparison of mean, a variance analysis (ANOVA), followed by the least significant differences (LSD) test, calculated at the 95% confidence level, was performed. Significant differences are indicated as follows:

*

p < 0.05; ns, not significant; DW, dry weight.
