While citrus rootstocks differ in cpacity for sodium and chloride ion exclusion, citrus scion species also vary in foliar sensitivity to NaCl salinisation. Of two common scions, ''Lisbon'' lemon appears more sensitive, whereas ''Valencia'' orange is less sensitive to leaf salt. In an attempt to explain this difference, ''Valencia'' orange (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) and ''Prior Lisbon'' lemon (Citrus limon [.L] Burm. F.) were budded to rootstocks known to differ in their ability to exclude sodium ions viz. the strong excluder Trifoliata (Poncirus trifoliata [L.] Raf.), and the weaker excluder Troyer citrange (C. sinensis .times. P. trifoliata); neither rootstock shows strong exclusion of chloride ions. Budded trees were held under a photosynthetic photon flux density of 450 .mu.mol m-2s-1 and watered with nutrient solution containing either 0 or 50 mol m-3 Nacl. Growth and photosynthetic responses were measured over 58 d followign onset of salinization; salinity effects on leaf gas exchange were studied in relation to changes in leaf water status, compatible solutes and foliar content of sodium and chloride ions, over that same period. Once root-zone salinization began to influence leaf solutes (day 30 onwards), lemon showed a steeper increase in leaf chloride than occurred for orange. Although rootstock differences were without effect on this ingress of chloride ions for either scion, sodium ions were excluded from both scions to a larger extent by Trifoliata than by Troyer citrange. Carbon dioxide assimilation of scion foliage was reduced earlier and to a much larger extent by root-zone salinization in lemon than in orange. Furthermore, comparisons of CO2 assimilation in relation to leaf tissue solutes between scions (on either rootstock) showed stronger responses for both sodium and chloride ions in lemon than in orange. Faster ingress of chloride into lemon leaves was identified as the crucial factor which predisposed towards expression of that contrast between scions. Although contrasts between scions in photosynthetic respnses to salinization matched a faster ingress of chloride inot lemon than into orange leaves, the sharper photosynthetic response of ''Prior Lisbon'' lemon to salinity was not solely attributable to higher concentrations of chloride ions (cell sap basis). A difference between species in subcellular compartmentation of the chloride ion under saline conditions was invoked.
