Ozone Impact on Emission of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds in Three Tropical Tree Species From the Atlantic Forest Remnants in Southeast Brazil.

ABSTRACT: Plants emit a broad number of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOCs) that can impact urban ozone (O₃) production. Conversely, the O₃ is a phytotoxic pollutant that causes unknown alterations in BVOC emissions from native plants. In this sense, here, we characterized the constitutive and O₃-induced BVOCs for two (2dO₃) and four (4dO₃) days of exposure (O₃ dose 80 ppb) and evaluated the O₃ response by histochemical techniques to detect programmed cell death (PCD) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) in three Brazilian native species.
