Ozone (O3) levels on Earth are increasing because of anthropogenic activities and natural
processes. Ozone enters plants through the leaves, leading to the overgeneration of reactive …

Rising tropospheric ozone (O3) and temperature, the two most important stresses caused
due to climate change. Both stresses have now become foremost concerns for production of …

Human driven environmental changes increase the concentrations of polluting reactive
compounds in the troposphere, such as ozone and nitrogen oxides. These changes lead to …

Tropospheric ozone is a highly oxidative pollutant with the potential to alter plant
metabolism. The direct effects of ozone on plant phenotype may alter interactions with other …

Pollination is an essential component of plant reproduction that is transformed by the novel
environmental conditions in cities. We summarize patterns of urban plant reproduction and …

Urban farming on rooftops is a contemporary approach that combines the benefits of green
roofing with food production within the city sprawl. The present study aims at assessing plant …

Ozone (O 3) is a phytotoxic air pollutant capable of limiting plant yield and growth, and
altering the quality of edible plant products. This study aimed to investigate the effects of …

Ozone has been proposed as a convenient elicitor against pathogens since it is known to
generate different reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce nonspecific defence by …

Main conclusion Plants exposed to equivalent ozone fluxes administered during day-time
versus night-time exhibited greater losses in biomass at night and this finding is attributed to …

Pollen coating, located on the exine, includes an extractible lipid fraction. The modification of
the pollen coating by air pollutants may have implications on the interactions of pollen with …
