Table 3. Chlorophyll (Chl) concentration (in μmol g−1 DW), SPAD index, fluorescence (Fv/Fm) parameter and photosynthetic rate (ACO2, in μmol m−2 s−1) measured in the non-chlorotic and chlorotic fully expanded leaves of ‘Navelina’ orange trees.

Non-chlorotic Chlorotic ANOVA
Chl a 3.6 1.4 ***
Chl b 1.4 0.7 **
Chl a/b 2.6 1.9 *
SPAD 70.2 26.6 ***
Fv/Fm 0.795 0.651 *
ACO2 7.2 5.3 **

Notes:

Values are the mean of six biological replicates (n = 6). For the 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;

**

p < 0.01;

***

p < 0.001. DW, dry weight.
