'Newhall' and 'Ponkan' citrus cultivars grafted on trifoliate orange with mycorrhization by Glomus intraradices displayed different responses to low-Zn, and the optimal growth of 'Newhall' was more fungal inoculation dependent.The effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus, Glomus intraradices, on plant growth, zinc (Zn) concentration and distribution, and photosynthesis were investigated in 'Newhall' navel orange (Citrus Sinensis) and 'Ponkan' tangerine (Citrus reticulata) grafted on the rootstock trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) exposed to low-Zn soil. Under the Zn-poor condition, the two cultivars showed similar decreases in growth, levels of leaf chlorophyll, gas exchange parameters, root soluble sugar, and Zn levels in various plant parts; however, the Zn percentage in the roots of 'Ponkan' was increased while in 'Newhall' it remained stable, indicating 'Newhall' may have a higher Zn translocation efficiency from the roots to the scion's shoots. AM inoculation improved growth, Zn concentrations and photosynthesis in the two cultivars. AM-infected seedlings had lower minimal fluorescence values but higher maximal fluorescence values than non-infected seedlings. In addition, they were more efficient in terms of photosystem II's (PS II's) maximal and potential photochemistry. The greater changes appeared in 'Newhall', implying AM symbioses could alleviate the negative effects of low-Zn on the PS II reaction center. In addition, AM-infected 'Newhall' and 'Ponkan' seedlings had higher Zn percentages in the leaves but lower Zn ratios in the roots than non-AM-infected seedlings, especially in the former cultivar. These results indicate that G. intraradices has the potential to enhance the growth and Zn distribution in 'Newhall' grafted on trifoliate orange seedlings grown in low-Zn soil in a greenhouse.
