F. F. Halma; A. R. C. Haas Botanical Gazette 1928. doi:10.1086/333876
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Direct sunlight increases the sap concentration of Eureka lemon and Valencia orange leaves.
- Association The sap concentration of Eureka lemon leaves increases more rapidly than that of Valencia orange leaves under direct sunlight.
- Mechanism Increases in sap concentration caused by sunlight are due entirely to photosynthetic products.
- Association The ash of the sap remains the same under sunlit and shaded conditions in citrus leaves.
- Association A greater percentage of the cross-sectional diameter of Eureka lemon leaves is occupied by palisade tissue than in Valencia orange leaves.
- Mechanism The greater sap concentration increase in lemon leaves may be due to a more efficient photosynthetic system.
- Association The great variation in sap concentration of citrus leaves brought about by direct sunlight.
- Recommendation Indiscriminate sampling of citrus leaves may cause large errors.
