The higher accumulation of H₂O₂, poor induction of antioxidative enzymes, and increased stomatal conductance led to severe visible injury and drastic inhibition in photosynthetic rates and growth in B than other cultivars depicting its higher sensitivity toward O₃.

Abstract
The sensitivity of four radish (Raphanus sativus L.) cultivars, Baladey “B,” Cherry Belle “CB,” Prinz Rotin “PR,” and Scarlet Globe “SG” to 80 nL L⁻¹ ozone is assessed in fumigation chambers. O₃ visible injury symptoms appears as brown spots to chlorotic areas, but the response is cultivar-specific. O₃ induces higher content of H₂O₂ and lipid peroxidation (it is estimated as malondialdehyde (MDA) content), leading to drastic visible injury symptoms in B compared to the other cultivars. Root and shoot dry weights, Chlorophyll a, net photosynthetic rates, and chlorophyll fluorescence are reduced in B to a greater extent than the other cultivars. On the other hand, stomatal conductance increased in B and CB (+52 and +24%, respectively) due to O₃ -exposure, while it was decreased by 35% in PR and SG. Exposure to O₃ generates oxidative stress leading to stimulation of antioxidative defense systems. SG shows the highest induction of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione reductase (GR), while B had the lowest activities of these antioxidative enzymes, but had the highest H₂O₂ and MDA content. The higher accumulation of H₂O₂, poor induction of antioxidative enzymes, and increased stomatal conductance led to severe visible injury and drastic inhibition in photosynthetic rates and growth in B than other cultivars depicting its higher sensitivity toward O₃. Therefore, it can be used as a bioindicator for O₃ pollution worldwide.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
