dc.description.abstract | Leaf chlorophyll content, specific leaf weight (SLW), photosynthetic and transpiration rates, stomatal functioning, water use efficiency and quantum yield were assessed during the kernel filling period for two consecutive years in order to understand tissue-centered physiological profile differences between two commercial almond cultivars, 'Ferragnès' and 'Texas'. Similar SLWs were observed on the studied cultivars; however, chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic and transpiration rates and stomatal functioning demonstrated statistically significant differences. In both cultivars, an overall decline in the examined parameters towards fruit maturation (i.e. end of the summer) was recorded. 'Ferragnès' leaves were found to be more efficient in leaf photosynthesis related performance during kernel filling, when irrigated sufficiently, in comparison to 'Texas' leaves. Low average values of leaf conductance during summer in 'Texas' leaves revealed its potential for adaptation in cool climates and increased carbon assimilation therein for high kernel yield. | en |
