Abstract:Plants of 16 Italian cultivars of durum wheat at the tillering stage were exposed to a single pulse of ozone (O3, 200 ppb, 5 h) to reveal the mechanisms explaining their O3 tolerance/sensitivity by considering some leaf physiochemical traits [e.g., stomatal conductance, photosystem II (PSII) efficiency, antioxidant enzyme activity, and phytohormone synthesis]. At the end of the recovery period (48 h from the beginning of the exposure), all cultivars showed visible foliar injury in the form of widespread chloro… Show more
