“…Pomegranate trees suffered greatly from a variety of industrial airborne pollutants, including biochemical alterations that included an investigation of the overall number of flavonoids and phenolics. The total phenolic and flavonoid content varied in this study, demonstrating their total dependence on stress and polluted and non-polluted environments [5]. Through stomata, traffic air pollution is easily absorbed and transported by leaves, having detrimental effects [6].…”

Solanum tuberosum L. is a useful vegetable crop and a member of the Solanaceae family that yields starch molecules with a high concentration. The analysis of both qualitative and quantitative phytochemical substances was the main focus of the current investigation. We have chosen places with road traffic and without road traffic (control) for the crop comparison analysis. The qualitative phytochemical substances analysed protein, carbohydrate, iodine, phenol, tannin, flavonoids, saponin, glycosides, steroids, terpene, and alkaloids. The complete phenolic content exhibits a total mean value of 0.03712, surpassing the threshold of 0.03176, while the overall flavonoid content shows a total mean value of 0.04696, exceeding the threshold of 0.03764. Crops growing close to busy road traffic had lower phytochemical substances, in terms of quantity and quality. This record demonstrates the detrimental impact of air pollution caused by vehicles on crop vegetation. Crop vegetation differs between control and road traffic sites, according to data on both qualitative and quantitative phytochemical substances.

“…Plants’ adaptation to abiotic environmental stresses is associated with metabolic adjustments that lead to the accumulation of phenolics that ameliorate the damaging effects of abiotic stress [ 62 , 63 , 64 ]. Additionally, substantial phenolic accumulation can occur in nitrogen-limited environments [ 20 , 65 ], which are actually the natural ecosystems of carob trees with their long-lived leaves [ 20 , 66 ], possessing an interesting functional leaf surface area [ 67 , 68 , 69 ].…”

Ceratonia siliqua L. (carob tree) is an endemic plant to the eastern Mediterranean region. In the present study, anatomical and physiological traits of successively grown compound leaves (i.e., the first, third, fifth and seventh leaves) of C. siliqua were investigated in an attempt to evaluate their growth under urban and suburban environmental conditions. Chlorophyll and phenolic content, as well as the specific leaf area of the compound leaves were determined. Structural traits of leaflets (i.e., thickness of palisade and spongy parenchyma, abaxial and adaxial epidermis, as well as abaxial and adaxial periclinal wall) were also investigated in expanding and fully expanded leaflets. Fully expanded leaflets from urban sites exhibited increased thickness of the lamina and the palisade parenchyma, while the thickness of the spongy parenchyma was thicker in suburban specimens. The palisade tissue was less extended than the spongy tissue in expanding leaflets, while the opposite held true for the expanded leaflets. Moreover, the thickness of the adaxial and the abaxial epidermises, as well as the adaxial and abaxial periclinal wall were higher in suburban leaflets. The chlorophyll content increased concomitantly with the specific leaf area (SLA) of both expanding and expanded leaflets, and strong positive correlations were detected, while the phenolic content declined with the increased SLA of expanding and expanded leaflets. It is noteworthy that the SLA of expanding leaflets in the suburban site was comparable to the SLA of expanded leaflets experiencing air pollution in urban sites; the size and the mass of leaf blades of C. siliqua possess adaptive features to air pollution. These results, linked to the functional structure of expanding and expanded successive foliar tissues, provide valuable assessment information coordinated with an adaptive process and yield of carob trees exposed to the considered ambient conditions, which have not hitherto been published.

Saccharum officinarum L. is a useful crop and a member of the Poaceae family that yields sugar molecules with a high concentration. The present study focused on the analysis of qualitative and quantitative phytochemical substances. For the comparative analysis of the crop, we have selected traffic road and non-traffic road sites (control). The qualitative phytochemical substances showed the analysis of protein, carbohydrate, iodine, phenol, tannin, flavonoids, saponin, glycosides, steroid, terpene, and alkaloid, quantitative phytochemical substances of (total phenolic content total mean value 0.03644 ˃ 0.03240 and total flavonoid content total mean value 0.04772 ˃ 0.03952). The quality of qualitative and quantitative phytochemical substances in crops growing near traffic roads was reduced. The negative effects of traffic-related air pollution on crop vegetation are clearly shown in this record. Crop vegetation varies between traffic roads and control sites based on analysis of qualitative and quantitative phytochemical substance data.
