Abstract:Plants react to O3 threat by setting up a variety of defensive strategies involving the co-ordinated modulation of stress perception, signalling and metabolic responses. Although stomata largely controls O3 uptake, differences in O3 tolerance cannot always be ascribed to changes in stomatal conductance but cell protective and repair processes should be taken into account. O3-driven ROS production in the apoplast induces a secondary, active, self-propagating generation of ROS, whose levels must be finely tuned, by many enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems, to induce gene activation without determining uncontrolled cell death. Additional signalling molecules, as ethylene, jasmonic and salicylic acid are also crucial to determine the spreading and the containment of leaf lesions. The main recent results obtained on O3 sensing, signal transduction, ROS formation and detoxification mechanisms are here discussed.
