Mechanisms of Ozone Effects on Plant Stress in Soybean Across Growing Season: From Leaf to Regional Perspective

Key Points

• The study aims to explore how ground-level ozone affects soybean stress throughout the growing season.
• Explored effects of ozone on soybean through field observations and measurements.
• Assessed plant stress responses during varying ozone exposure scenarios.
• Analyzed data from different growing seasons to evaluate regional impacts.
• Identified significant negative effects of ozone on soybean leaf health and productivity.
• Demonstrated that episodic ozone exposure has more substantial effects compared to chronic exposure.
• Found that ozone impacts vary across different stages of the growing season.
