Biochemical Mechanisms of Pollutant Stress

  • Chapter
Assessment of Crop Loss From Air Pollutants

Abstract

A discussion of biochemical mechanisms in this symposium is critical if one wishes to develop a concept of how O3 exposure induces alterations in a plant’s metabolism, which ultimately lower a plant’s final yield or market value. Furthermore, an understanding of what is and is not known will allow future research to be formulated. In keeping with this concept, I hope to describe several possible scenarios for the development of yield reduction due to primary and secondary biochemical responses. I will concentrate upon O3, as it was the major oxidant investigated within the NCLAN studies.
