Cold hardening in citrus stems.
نویسنده
چکیده
Stem cold hardening developed to different levels in citrus types tested in controlled environments. Exotherms indicated ice spread was more uniform and rapid in unhardened than in cold-hardened stems. All attempts to inhibit the functioning of citrus leaves resulted in less cold hardening in the stems. Citrus leaves contribute a major portion of cold hardening in the wood.

Relationships of leaf Fatty acids to cold hardening of citrus seedlings.
Three cultivars of citrus with different sensitivities to freezing temperatures (citron, Citrus medica L.; rough lemon, C. limon Burm. F; sour orange, C. aurantium L.) were cold hardened for 4 weeks. Lipids from leaves of hardened and control seedlings were fractionated and analyzed for fatty acids. The absolute amount of triglycerides and phospholipids increased in the leaves upon hardening. W...

متن کاملHardening Fertilization and Nutrient Loading of Conifer Seedlings
Continuing to fertilize bareroot and container seedlings during the hardening process (from cessation of height growth until lifting) can improve seedling viability. The process of fertilizing during hardening has many names, but in the last decade a new term, nutrient loading, has come into use. The process of nutrient loading seedlings leads to luxury consumption indicated by foliar nitrogen ...

Greenhouse-grown l-year-old sweet orange trees [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cv. Valencia] on cold-hardy trifoliate orange [Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] and cold-sensitive citron (C. medica L.) rootstocks were exposed to cold-acclimation conditions and freeze-tested at -6.7C for 4 hours in a temperature-programed walk-in freezer room. Nonhardened trees generally did not survive the freeze, whe...
