Photosynthetic and antioxidant responses of Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia…

The effect of Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) infection on photosynthetic activity and antioxidant metabolism was analysed in plants of the highly susceptible citrus genotype Mexican lime (Citrus aurantifolia). Two virus isolates differing in their virulence (the severe T318 and the mild T385) were used in the experiments. CTV infection caused a reduction in photosynthetic capacity in infected plan…
