The ascorbate pools of the extracellular respiratory lining fluids and the plant apoplast are currently considered as part of the first line of defence against ambient ozone. Ozone is in fact rapidly decomposed by ascorbate, but the only product identified so far (singlet oxygen) is toxic. Peroxy-l-threonic and peroxy-oxalic acids are now derived as further decomposition products on the basis of Criegee-type ozone chemistry. These secondary toxicants may resemble known ozone induced transmitter molecules by participating in signalling events affecting plant and animal innate immunity.

This research investigates the interactive effects of elevated ozone (eO) and carbon dioxide (eCO) on stomatal morphology and leaf anatomical characteristics in two wheat cultivars with varying O sensitivities. Elevated O increased stomatal density and conductance, causing oxidative stress and cellular damage, particularly in the O-sensitive cultivar PBW-550 (PW), compared to HUW-55 (HW). Conversely, eCO reduced stomatal density and pore size, mitigating O-induced damage by limiting O influx.

The phytotoxic nature of Ozone (O) has been well documented in a number of scientific literatures during the last few decades. Although there are sufficient studies related to O impact assessment studies on crop plants and tree species, studies pertaining to O effects on medicinal plants are comparatively sparse. During the recent years, the mitigation strategies for management of O stress in plants have also assumed paramount significance.

Synthetic dyes produced by the textile dyeing industry and released into wastewater contribute significantly to water pollution. This study explores the efficacy and versatility of a novel multi-electrode dielectric barrier discharge (MEDBD) plasma system that mainly generates ozone (O generator) and nitric oxide (NO generator) selectively to degrade various synthetic textile dyes, namely Methylene Blue (MB), Congo Red (CR), Methyl Orange (MO), Crystal Violet (CV), and Evans Blue (EB). Plasma achieved selective enrichment of O and NO by utilizing optimized plasma generation duty cycles of 15% and 100%, respectively.

The pressing issue of increasing tropospheric ozone (O) levels necessitates the development of effective stress management strategies for plant protection. While considerable research has elucidated the adverse impacts of O, understanding the combined effects of O and CO requires further investigation. This study focuses on assessing the response of stomatal O flux under various O and CO treatments, individually and in combination, and their repercussions on physiological, growth, and yield attributes in two Indian wheat cultivars, HUW-55 and PBW-550, which exhibit varying levels of sensitivities against elevated O.
