Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine if theO3sensitivity of Phaseolus vulgaris L. changed withplant development. Plants exposed to charcoal-filtered airor elevated O3 throughout the study were compared tothose exposed only during the vegetative or reproductivestages. Effects of pod development on O3 sensitivitywere also examined by removing flowers from a subset ofplants. We found that plant developmental stage significantly altered O3 sensitivity. Exposures during vegetative stagescaused little foliar injury and had only a small impact on totalgrowth and yield. In contrast, exposures during pod development had a much greater effect on foliar injury, growth and yield. Pod development significantly increased O3 induced foliar injury and O3 impacts on plant growth. We suggest that thegreater O3 sensitivity during pod filling and maturation isthe consequence of reduced energy levels available for homeostatic repair processes.
