TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between relative yield and ozone exposure was derived for wheat and potato using data from open-top chamber experiments with field grown crops, performed in Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Italy and Germany.

TL;DR: The evergreen broadleaves studied here maybe relatively tolerant to realistic O 3 levels, at least in terms of visible injury and gas exchange, and might overlap with their level of tolerance to drought stress.

TL;DR: Recovered grapevine plants might be able to achieve a long-term, sustained and tissue-specific accumulation of H2O2 in leaves, which reduces numbers or prevents further infection by Flavescence dorée phytoplasma, without altering the levels of other antioxidant systems and without incurring an increased oxidative risk.

TL;DR: Levels, uptake and vegetation response to O3 in Italy over recent years are reviewed to discuss value, uncertainty and feasibility of different approaches to risk assessment and suggest that critical levels based on accumulated stomatal flux (CLe(f)) can be a better predictor of O3 risk than CLe(c).

TL;DR: The event chain leading to germination blockage in durum wheat seeds exposed to the allelochemical coumarin was studied and the resulting oxidative stress might have ultimately interfered with the germination program.
