Journal ArticleDOI
Threat to food security under current levels of ground level ozone: A case study for Indian cultivars of rice
TL;DR: The study concluded that under ambient condition of O3 exposure, the two cultivars responded differently, with Saurabh 950 favoured biomass translocation priority towards ear in reproductive phase and hence showed higher resistivity due to maintenance of higher test weight.
Book ChapterDOI
Impact of Heavy Metals on Physiological Processes of Plants: With Special Reference to Photosynthetic System
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of heavy metals on photosynthetic pigments, proteins, and enzymes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis as well as electron transport in light reactions and affect various enzymes in dark reactions.
Journal Article
Individual and interactive effects of elevated carbon dioxide and ozone on tropical wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars with special emphasis on ROS generation and activation of antioxidant defence system.
TL;DR: Under elevated CO2 + O3, elevated levels of CO2 modified the plant performance against O3 in both the cultivars and cultivar HUW-37 was more sensitive to elevated O3 than K-9107.
Journal ArticleDOI
ROS production and its detoxification in early and late sown cultivars of wheat under future O3 concentration.
Durgesh Singh Yadav,Richa Rai,Amit Kumar Mishra,Nivedita Chaudhary,Arideep Mukherjee,Shashi Bhushan Agrawal,Madhoolika Agrawal +6 more
TL;DR: Differential response of early and late sown cultivars with respect to antioxidative defense against O3 stress suggests that yield responses are governed by the time of sowing and intrinsic defense responses of the cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Tropospheric Ozone on Crop Plants
Richa Rai,Madhoolika Agrawal +1 more
TL;DR: Understanding of cultivar sensitivity in context to O3 would be helpful in development of potential O3 biomarkers and O3 tolerant variables, which is identifiable in terms of biochemical, physiological, molecular and yield responses.
