Abstract
In the summer of 1981, symptoms on leaves of field grown beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) were noticed suggesting O3 injury. In order to determine their relative sensitivity primary leaves of 24 bean cultivars were exposed to various concentrations of O3. Differences in foliar injury responses between cultivars were affected by O3 concentration. The cultivars Pros/Gitana and Stratego were the most sensitive, whereas Berna and Narda were the most insensitive. The symptoms observed in practice may be attributed to O3. Sensitivity of Stratego primary leaves clearly depended on plant age. This cultivar will be tested as an indicator plant for O3.
Samenvatting
In de zomer van 1981 werden in het veld symptomen op bladeren van boon geconstateerd, die mogelijk een gevolg waren van te veel O3 in de lucht. Ten einde de relatieve gevoeligheid te bepalen werden primaire bladeren van 24 bonecultivars blootgesteld aan verschillende concentraties O3. Verschillen in het niveau van bladbeschadiging tussen de cultivars werden beïnvloed door de O3-concentratie. De cultivars Pros/Gitana en Stratego waren het meest gevoelig, Berna en Narda daarentegen het meest ongevoelig. De in de praktijk op boon waargenomen symptomen kunnen aan O3 worden toegeschreven. De gevoeligheid van de primaire bladeren van cultivar Stratego bleek afhankelijk te zijn van de leeftijd van de planten. Deze cultivar zal onderzocht worden op de bruikbaarheid als indicatorplant voor O3.
