Abstract
Nitrate content tended to be inversely related to nitrate reductase in leaves of mature ’Valencia’ orange trees located at Bet Dagan, Israel. Field and greenhouse experiments supported the hypothesis that the observed low nitrate reduction and resulting nitrate accumulation in citrus leaves in the summer could be explained on the basis of the separate and combined effects of water stress and temperature stress on citrus plants.Keywords
