Concerns also have been expressed about plant growth studies with the air pollutant O3 in pot‐grown plants. Further, since elevated CO2 and O3 co‐occur, studies are required with the combination of gases. In this 2‐yr experiment, soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants grown in large pots (15 and 21 L) and in the ground were exposed to mixtures of CO2 and O3 in open‐top chambers. The CO2 treatments were ambient and CO2 enrichment of approximately 337 μmol mol−1 added 24 h d−1 Ozone treatments were charcoal‐filtered (CF) air (23 nmol mol−1) and approximately 1.5 times ambient O3 levels (71 nmol mol−1) given 12 h d−1 Relative effects of elevated CO2 and O3 on aboveground biomass and seed yield were quite similar for plants grown in pots compared with plants grown in the ground. Elevated CO2 increased total seed mass and O3 suppressed it to similar magnitudes in both rooting environments. Elevated CO2 also reduced the toxic effects of O3 Net photosynthesis (A) was similar while stomatal conductance (gs) was higher in pot‐grown compared with ground‐grown plants, possibly due to better soil moisture status. The results indicated that planting density and rooting environment affected plant morphology, but relative responses of seed yield to elevated CO2 and O3 were not fundamentally different between soybean plants grown in large pots and in the ground in open‐top chambers.}, number={3}, journal={CROP SCIENCE}, author={Booker, FL and Miller, JE and Fiscus, EL and Pursley, WA and Stefanski, LA}, year={2005}, pages={883–895} } @article{heagle_miller_pursley_2003, title={Growth and yield responses of potato to mixtures of carbon dioxide and ozone}, volume={32}, ISSN={["0047-2425"]}, DOI={10.2134/jeq2003.1603}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY}, author={Heagle, AS and Miller, JE and Pursley, WA}, year={2003}, pages={1603–1610} } @article{heagle_miller_burkey_eason_pursley_2002, title={Growth and yield responses of snap bean to mixtures of carbon dioxide and ozone}, volume={31}, ISSN={["1537-2537"]}, DOI={10.2134/jeq2002.2008}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY}, author={Heagle, AS and Miller, JE and Burkey, KO and Eason, G and Pursley, WA}, year={2002}, pages={2008–2014} } @article{heagle_miller_pursley_2000, title={Growth and yield responses of winter wheat to mixtures of ozone and carbon dioxide}, volume={40}, ISSN={["0011-183X"]}, DOI={10.2135/cropsci2000.4061656x}, abstractNote={Ozone (O3) in the troposphere can cause plant stress, whereas elevated CO2 generally enhances plant growth.

Foliar injury caused by O3 was suppressed by elevated CO2 in both experiments. In Exp. 1, plant size and yield increased with CO2 enrichment in the NF and NF+ treatments, but not in the CF treatment. However, the O3 × CO2 interaction was rarely significant. In Exp. 2, growth and yield of C9904 was suppressed more by O3 than was that of C9835. Because of cultivar differences in sensitivity to O3, CO2 enrichment caused greater amelioration of O3 stress and greater enhancement for C9904 than for C9835.

Numerous studies have been performed to determine effects of O 3 and CO 2 separately, but relatively few have been performed to determine if 03 can affect plant response to CO 2 or vice versa. Open-top field chambers were used to determine if such interactions occur for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), which is relatively sensitive to O 3 . Nitrogen nutrition is especially important in cotton production so N nutrition was included as an experimental factor. Plants were grown in 14-L pots at low, medium, and high soil N levels and exposed to three CO 2 and two or three 03 treatments in all combinations during two seasons. The CO 2 treatments were ambient (370 μL L -1 ) and two treatments with CO 2 added for 24 h d -1 at approximately 1.5 and 2.0 times ambient. In 1995, the O 3 treatments were charcoal filtered air (CF), and nonfiltered air (NF) with 03 added for 12 h d -1 (NF+). In 1996, a NF treatment was also included to represent ambient 03 conditions. The CF, NF, and NF+ treatments resulted in seasonal 03 concentrations of approximately 23, 51, and 75 nL L -1 . Carbon dioxide enrichment generally stimulated growth and yield whereas 03 exposure suppressed growth and yield. Stimulation induced by CO 2 increased as O 3 stress increased. For example, in 1995 at medium N, the percentage increase in yield caused by doubling CO 2 in CF air was 0%, but was 52% in NF+ air. Comparable values for 1996 were 23% in CF air and 140% in NF+ air. These interactions occurred for a range of soil N levels, and were probably caused by CO 2 -induced prevention of 03 stress.

Elevated CO2 usually increased partitioning of biomass to branches, decreased partitioning to pods, increased specific leaf weight, and decreased leaf area ratio. Ozone suppressed leaf and root weight ratios, increased pod weight ratios, and decreased specific leaf weight. Toward the end of the season, both O3 and CO2 accelerated reproductive development. Elevated CO2 moderated suppression of growth by O3, and the highest CO2 concentration completely ameliorated O3 effects on main stem biomass, root biomass, and leaf area.

However, histochemistry, UV and IR spectra, radiolabelling and a nitrobenzene oxidation assay all indicated that lignin and suberin did not increase with O3 treatment. Acidinsoluble lignin and LTGA extracted from O3-treated plants probably contained phenolic polymers that form in wounded or senescent tissues, thereby causing overestimates of the changes.
