Role of nitrogen amendments on carbon fixation efficiency of ozone exposed lemongrass: Interrelationship between secondary metabolite production and yield.

The phytotoxic nature of Ozone (O) has been well documented in a number of scientific literatures during the last few decades. Although there are sufficient studies related to O impact assessment studies on crop plants and tree species, studies pertaining to O effects on medicinal plants are comparatively sparse. During the recent years, the mitigation strategies for management of O stress in plants have also assumed paramount significance.

Understanding the impact of elevated CO and O on growth and yield in Indian wheat cultivars: Implications for food security in a changing climate.

The pressing issue of increasing tropospheric ozone (O) levels necessitates the development of effective stress management strategies for plant protection. While considerable research has elucidated the adverse impacts of O, understanding the combined effects of O and CO requires further investigation. This study focuses on assessing the response of stomatal O flux under various O and CO treatments, individually and in combination, and their repercussions on physiological, growth, and yield attributes in two Indian wheat cultivars, HUW-55 and PBW-550, which exhibit varying levels of sensitivities against elevated O.

Understanding mechanistic variability in physiological and biochemical responses of pea cultivars (Pisum sativum L.) to ozone exposure.

Increasing concentration of ground level O and its negative impacts on agricultural output is well documented, however, the response of leguminous crop plants is still sparsely cited. Given their nutritional richness, legume seeds are widely esteemed as a crucial dietary staple worldwide, prized for their abundance of oil, protein, dietary fiber, and low-fat characteristics. Termed as the "poor man's meat" due to their high-quality protein, they hold immense economic value.

Cross-talk between antioxidant production and secondary metabolite biosynthesis under combined effects of ozone stress and nitrogen amendments: A case study of lemongrass.

The present experiment was done to study the interactive effects of soil nitrogen (N) amendments and elevated ozone (O) (N-O) on a medicinal plant, lemongrass [Cymbopogon flexuosus (Steud.) (Wats.)].

Divergent responses of ascorbate and glutathione pools in ozone-sensitive and ozone-tolerant wheat cultivars under elevated ozone and carbon dioxide interaction.

Crop plants face complex tropospheric ozone (O) stress, emphasizing the need for a food security-focused management strategy. While research extensively explores O's harmful effects, this study delves into the combined impacts of O and CO. This study investigates the contrasting responses of O-sensitive (PBW-550) and O-resistant (HUW-55) wheat cultivars, towards elevated ozone (eO) and elevated carbon dioxide (eCO), both individually and in combination.

Using soil nitrogen amendments in mitigating ozone stress in agricultural crops: a case study of cluster beans.

The climate change scenario in the coming years is liable to have serious negative consequences on agricultural productivity. Increasing tropospheric ozone concentration is an important aspect of climate change, which, due to its oxidative nature, is injurious to the plants. Due to the multifarious nature and continuously increasing concentration of tropospheric ozone, it is prerequisite to develop strategies to manage ozone stress in plants.

Role of Elevated Ozone on Development and Metabolite Contents of Lemongrass [ (Steud.) (Wats.)].

The present study was conducted to assess the effect of elevated ozone stress on the development and metabolite contents of lemongrass, a medicinal plant. The experimental plant was exposed to two elevated ozone concentrations (ambient + 15 ppb, and ambient + 30 ppb) using open-top chambers. Samplings were carried out at 45 and 90 days after transplantation (DAT), for the analysis of different characteristics, while the metabolite contents of leaves and essential oils were analyzed at 110 DAT.

Role of antioxidant pool in management of ozone stress through soil nitrogen amendments in two cultivars of a tropical legume.

The present experiment was done on two different cultivars of a tropical legume, Cymopsis tetragonoloba L. Taub. (cluster bean) cvv.
