Stomatal regulation of ozone phytotoxicity in tomato

Effects of low ozone concentrations on growth of Betula pubescens Ehrh., Betula verrucosa Ehrh. and Alnus incana (L.) Moench

“…It has been shown with pinto beans (Heck & Dunning, 1967;Dunning & Heck, 1973, 1977 and pine seedlings (Davis & Wood, 1973) that high compared with low light levels during a growth period before exposure to ozone reduce the effect of ozone. High light during exposure, however, increases the effect because of increased stomatal aperture and increased ozone uptake (Adepipe, Khatamian & Ormrod, 1973;Reich, 1987). It is acknowledged that higher radiation might have altered the ozone effect in the present experiment but small plants were used with much less self-shading than occurs naturally with larger trees.…”

Effects of low concentrations of O3, leaf age and water stress on leaf diffusive conductance and water use efficiency in soybean

“…However, the majority of soybean acreage is not irrigated and thus, the plants periodically experience water stress. Several authors have suggested that plants subjected to water stress were not visibly injured by single exposures to high concentrations of O, because of reduced pollutant uptake as a consequence of stomatal closure (Adedipe et al 1973, Tingey et al 1982. These studies focused on foliar injury and used high concentrations for short exposure times.…”

Ozone responsive genes in Medicago truncatula: Analysis by suppression subtraction hybridization

“…Both AHG1 and AHG3 are negative regulators of ABA signaling pathway (Nishimura et al, 2007;Yoshida et al, 2006). We speculate ABA may play a role in determining the plant response to ozone directly via its regulation of the stomatal aperture (Adedipe et al, 1973;Jeong et al, 1981;Tingey and Hogsett, 1985;Vahisalu et al, 2008) and/or its interactions with ROS (McAinsh et al, 1996;Neill et al, 2002;Overmyer et al, 2008;Pei et al, 2000). Ozone-induced genes in JE154 showed the highest degree of similarity to the genes altered in Arabidopsis brevix radix (brx) mutant ( Figure 3) based on Genevestigator analysis (Zimmermann et al, 2004).…”
