e1“Seedlings of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were fumigated daily with 60 ppb of O3 for 30 days, five hours per day”
e2“Once per week, 50% of the fumigated plants were treated with foliar applications of 0.2% WD, while control plants were treated with water”
e6“higher antioxidant power, as well as antioxidant molecules, i.e., caffeic acid and quercetin”

- Intervention effect Wood distillate-treated lettuce showed lower damage to the photosynthetic machinery under ozone fumigation than control plants.
- Intervention effect Wood distillate-treated lettuce had a higher chlorophyll content than control plants under ozone fumigation.
- Intervention effect Wood distillate-treated lettuce had higher antioxidant power than control plants under ozone fumigation.
- Intervention effect Wood distillate-treated lettuce had higher biomass than control plants under ozone fumigation.
- Mechanism Counteracting ozone-generated reactive oxygen species is speculated to be the main mechanism by which wood distillate protects lettuce from ozone-induced damage.
