Abstract
Tropospheric ozone is one of the GHGs, which adversely affects the productivity of crop plants and ecosystems, whereas stratospheric ozone protects people from harmful UV radiations. The ozone-generating system to study the effect of O3 on agricultural crops is described in detail. Open-top chambers (OTC) using filtered charcoal and ozone FACE system for crop response studies are explained. Modelling ozone effects using process-based interactions with environmental factors has been emphasized in this chapter. Mitigation of the adverse ozone impact on crop plants is explained in terms of the alteration in signal transduction, reducing the stomatal conductance to decrease the entry of ozone in the cells, reduction of toxic effects of tropospheric ozone by altering the oxystress through changes in the balance between the ROS and antioxidant enzymes.
