Effect of exogenous catechin on alleviating O stress: The role of catechin-quinone in lipid peroxidation, salicylic acid, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant enzymes of Zamioculcas zamiifolia.

Ozone (O) can cause oxidative stress in plants and humans. Catechin is an antioxidant that enriches tea and can probably increase O tolerance in plants. To investigate the mechanism of catechin to alleviate O stress in plants, Zamiocalcus zamiifolia (an efficient plant for O phytoremediation) was sprayed with 5 mM catechin and was used to expose O (150-250) under long-term operation (10 cycles).

Contribution of Bacillus cereus ERBP in ozone detoxification by Zamioculcas zamiifolia plants: Effect of ascorbate peroxidase, catalase and total flavonoid contents for ozone detoxification.

Eighteen plant species were screened for ozone (O) removal in a continuous system. Zamioculcas zamiifolia had the highest O removal efficiency. To enhance O removal by Z.
