Ozone tolerance in Phaseolus vulgaris depends on more than one mechanism

Two bean cultivars with different sensitivity to ozone, i.e. the O₃-sensitive Cannellino and the O₃-tolerant Top Crop, were exposed to acute O₃-stress (165 nL L⁻¹) with the aim of evaluating physiological and biochemical traits that may confer O₃-tolerance. Stomatal conductance was smaller and the ability to dissipate excess energy, via regulated and unregulated nonphotochemical quenching mechanisms was greater in Top Crop than in Cannellino. These morphological and physiological-traits allowed the O₃-tolerant cultivar to compensate for the light-induced declines in Φ_PSII, to preserve photosystem II from excitation-energy, and likely to prevent the generation of ROS to a superior degree than the O₃-sensitive cultivar. Furthermore, the potential capacities to reducing the superoxide anion and H₂O₂ were significantly greater in Top Crop than in Cannellino. These findings are consistent with the early accumulation of H₂O₂, the almost complete disruption of cell structure, and irreversible damages to the photosynthetic apparatus observed in the O₃-sensitive cultivar.     

Elevated CO2 response of photosynthesis depends on ozone concentration in aspen

The effect of elevated CO₂ and O₃ on apparent quantum yield (?), maximum photosynthesis (P_max), carboxylation efficiency (V_cmax) and electron transport capacity (J_max) at different canopy locations was studied in two aspen (Populus tremuloides) clones of contrasting O₃ tolerance. Local light climate at every leaf was characterized as fraction of above-canopy photosynthetic photon flux density (%PPFD). Elevated CO₂ alone did not affect ? or P_max, and increased J_max in the O₃-sensitive, but not in the O₃-tolerant clone. Elevated O₃ decreased leaf chlorophyll content and all photosynthetic parameters, particularly in the lower canopy, and the negative impact of O₃ increased through time. Significant interaction effect, whereby the negative impact of elevated O₃ was exaggerated by elevated CO₂ was seen in Chl, N and J_max, and occurred in both O₃-tolerant and O₃-sensitive clones. The clonal differences in the level of CO₂ × O₃ interaction suggest a relationship between photosynthetic acclimation and background O₃ concentration.     

Growth and photosynthetic responses to copper in wild grapevine

The present study evaluates the tolerance and accumulation potential of Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris under moderate and high external Cu levels. A greenhouse experiment was conducted in order to investigate the effects of a range of external Cu concentrations (0–23 mmol L⁻¹) on growth and photosynthetic performance by measuring gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and photosynthetic pigments. We also measured the total copper, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium and sodium concentrations in the plant tissues. All the experimental plants survived even with external Cu concentrations as high as 23 mmol L⁻¹ (1500 mg Cu L⁻¹), although the excess of metal resulted in a biomass reduction of 35%. The effects of Cu on growth were linked to a reduction in net photosynthesis, which may be related to the effect of the high concentration of the metal on photosynthetic electron transport. V. vinifera ssp. sylvestris survived with leaf Cu concentrations as high as 80 mg kg⁻¹ DW and growth parameters were unaffected by leaf tissue concentrations of 35 mg Cu kg⁻¹ DW. The results of our study indicate that plants of V. vinifera ssp. sylvestris from the studied population are more tolerant to Cu than the commercial varieties of grapevine that have been studied in the literature, and could constitute a basis for the genetic improvement of Cu tolerance in grapevine.

A Three-Dimensional Model Study of the Impact of AVOC and BVOC Emissions on Ozone in an Urban Area of the Eastern Spain

This study concentrated on the effects of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOC) emissions on ozone (O₃) in an area of the Eastern Spain on June 12, 1997, a day characterised by sea breeze. Simulation of meteorology was performed with the three-dimensional model ADREA-I. Comparisons of the model results with observations have revealed overall a good agreement in temperature and wind velocity. Two runs were performed with UAM-IV for the photochemical calculations. The first simulated the effects of the anthropogenic emissions only (run A) and the second the combined effects of anthropogenic and biogenic emissions, (run B). Comparisons of the model O₃ concentrations with measurements showed a general agreement with the experimental data. Discrepancies between the calculated results and the observations during the early morning hours could be attributed to inaccuracies in nitrogen oxides (NO_x) from the anthropogenic emissions inventory. Comparisons between runs A and B yielded differences up to 30% in the morning, over inland areas. It was deduced that the inclusion of BVOC in total emissions could result in an increase or decrease of tropospheric O₃, depending on the available amounts of anthropogenic emissions.

广州森林大气中VOCs昼夜变化特征及对O_3的影响

挥发性有机物化合物(VOCs)是大气光化学过程的重要前驱物,对大气中的臭氧(O)3有重要影响。文章对广州市花都区王子山森林公园大气中VOCs的昼夜变化特征进行了分析,并且评估了其对大气中O3的相对贡献。共定性和定量了21种VOCs,其中1,2,4-三甲基苯(21.50±32.90)μg/m3、甲基环戊烷(20.40±23.30)μg/m3和异戊二烯(14.90±39.20)μg/m3浓度最高。对于大多数VOCs来说,活性VOCs与相对惰性的VOCs表现出相反的昼夜变化特征,这反映了大气光化学反应对于VOCs的影响。采用Propy-Equiv浓度对大气VOCs对O3的影响评估结果表明,该地区大气VOCs对O3贡献的大小为:烯烃>苯系物>烷烃。

Formation of 2,3,7,8‐tetrabromodibenzodioxin and ‐furan by thermolysis of polymers containing brominated flame retardants

Several plastic products which are used in areas exposed to fire hazards contain flame retardants. A group of important flame retardants are brominated aromatic compounds, and it is believed that they thermally generate polybrominated dibenzodioxins (PBrDD) and dibenzofurans (PBrDF).

The formation of 2,3,7,8‐Tetrabromodibenzodioxin (TBrDD) and ‐Tetrabromodibenzofuran (TBrDF) from various plastics with brominated flame retardants under different thermolysis conditions is presented. At 600 °C, 2,3,7,8‐TBrDD and ‐TBrDF in concentrations of 0.01–7 and 0.01–6 ppm, respectively, are formed from plastics containing decabromodiphenylether or polybromodiphenylether as flame retardant. With increasing temperature the concentration of these isomers decreases until they are no longer detectable above 800 °C (detection limit: 0.01 ppm).

The hypothetical reaction pathways for the formation of 2,3,7,8‐TBrDD and ‐TBrDF by thermolysis of decabromodiphenylether are proposed.

The solubility and photochemical properties of 2,3,7,8‐TBrDD in different solvents are given.
