Abstract

Response of gas exchange traits to irradiance were studied in eight almond tree (Prunus amygdalus) cultivars: Desmayo Largueta, Falsa Barese, Garrigues, Lauranne, Marcona, Masbovera, Nonpareil and Ramillete, grafted on a hybrid rootstock almond × peach GF-677. From these responses cultivars can be classified from the best to the worst photosynthetic performance as follows: Falsa Barese, Masbovera, Marcona, Nonpareil, Ramillete, Desmayo Largueta, Lauranne and Garrigues. The highest net photosynthetic rate was 20.3 μmol m−2 s−1 in Falsa Barese. In the absence of water stress, photosynthetic rate was not limited by stomatal conductance. Consequently, non-stomatal limitations prevailed under such conditions.
