Tropospheric ozone (O) is the main secondary pollutant and considered to be the most damaging for growth and productivity. O is well known to induce oxidative stress and Reactive Oxygen Species accumulation in leaf tissues. Several mechanisms have been suggested to enable trees to cope with such stress; however, their relative contribution to O tolerance is still unclear. Here, ten Euramerican poplar genotypes (Populus deltoides × nigra) were investigated regarding their response to 120 ppb of O for 3 weeks in order to determine main mechanisms and identify the key traits and strategies linked to a better tolerance to O-induced oxidative stress. Results showed that ascorbate peroxidase and ascorbate regeneration through monodehydroascorbate reductase are the main determinants of O tolerance in Euramerican poplar, in protecting photosynthesis capacity from oxidative stress and therefore, maintaining growth and productivity. Besides, stomatal closure was harmful in sensitive genotypes, suggesting that avoiding strategy can be further deleterious under chronic ozone. Finally, O-induced early senescence appeared essential when up scaling leaf-level mechanistic response to whole-plant productivity, in fine-tuning resource reallocation and photosynthesis area.

Background: Low temperatures are known to limit the growth and geographical distribution of poplars. Although some transcriptomic studies have been conducted to explore the response of poplar leaves to cold stress, only a few have comprehensively analyzed the effects of low temperature on the transcriptome of poplars and identified genes related to cold stress response and repair of freeze-thaw injury.
Results: We exposed the Euramerican poplar Zhongliao1 to low temperatures; after stems were exposed to - 40℃, 4℃, and 20℃, the mixture of phloem and cambium was collected for transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis.

DNA methylation plays crucial roles in responses to environmental stimuli. Modification of DNA methylation during development and abiotic stress responses has been confirmed in increasing numbers of plants, mainly annual plants. However, the epigenetic regulation mechanism underlying the immune response to pathogens remains largely unknown in plants, especially trees.

The impact of ozone (O) pollution events on the plant drought response needs special attention because spring O episodes are often followed by summer drought. By causing stomatal sluggishness, O could affect the stomatal dynamic during a subsequent drought event. In this context, we studied the impact of O exposure and water deficit (in the presence or in the absence of O episode) on the stomatal closure/opening mechanisms relative to irradiance or vapour pressure deficit (VPD) variation.

Many quantitative traits are composites of other traits that contribute differentially to genetic variation. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping of these composite traits can benefit by incorporating the mechanistic process of how their formation is mediated by the underlying components. We propose a dissection model by which to map these interconnected components traits under a joint likelihood setting.
