The experiment was done within -2014 in plant physiology lab.of agriculture faculty
of Tishreen University for estimation of high temperature stress toleration of citrus leaves
in three varietis(Citrus Unshiu , Meyer Lemon,Citrus SinensisWashington
). Many random
samples of leaves were gathered from the foliage of the examined categories whereas tha
average of the taken leaves was 200 from the whole sides for each one tree from the
branches which are one year old . which were put for limited duration in a water bath about
many different degrees of temperature then they were put in water and then in a solution of
HCL acid .
Many references were studied of containing :non spotting on leaves ,which means
they are un harmed,simple spotting,the spotting of more than half of the leaves area,the
perfect leaves spotting.
Studied temperature were as the following :40-50-60-70-80.Each one of this
mentiond temperature,40 leaves were used .The statistics analys were done with the way of
Genstat 12,for the comparison between averages for the sake of calculating the least
significant difference at the guidance level :5% .
Studies showed that Satsuma leaves are the most toleration for high temperature,next
Citrus SinensisWashington is less than Satsuma.At last Meyer Lemon was the least .
