Other claims from this paper (5)
- 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 caffeic acid and quercetin 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.
