Bench-grafter Fuji/M.26 apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) trees were fertigated for 45 d with different nitrogen concentrations in modified Hoagland's solutions. A wide range of leaf N content was noted in recently fully expanded leaves (from 0.9-4.4 g m~(-2)). Apparent quantum efficiency for CO_2 assimilation was relatively constant except for a slight decrease at the lower end of the leaf N range. The light saturation point for CO_2 assimilation increased with increasing leaf N. Curvilinear relationships were found between leaf N and 1) light-saturated CO_2 assimilation at ambient CO_2 2) the initial slope of the response of CO_2 assimilation to intercellular CO_2 concentration, and 3) CO_2 saturated photosynthisis. All three initially increased linearly with increasing leaf N, then reached a plateau at a leaf N content of approximately 3 g m~(-2). The relationship between leaf N and stomatal conductance was similar to that of CO_2 assimilation with leaf N. Calculated intercellular CO_2 concentration, however, tended to decrease with increases in leaf N, indicating that stomatal conductance did not limit photosynthesis in leaves with low N content. Light-saturated CO_2 assimilation, expressed on a leaf N basis, decreased with increasing leaf N. A curvilinear relationship existed between leaf N content and photosynthetic capacity in apple leaves. Photosynthetic N use efficiency decreased with increasing leaf N content.
