Ozone injury in soybeans: isoflavonoid accumulation is related to necrosis
1Department of Plant Pathology and Statewide Air Pollution Research Center, University of California, Riverside, California 92502.
Abstract:
Fumigation of soybean leaves (Glycine max [L.] Merr. with ozone caused stippling and silvering at the same time that large accumulations of the isoflavonoid compounds daidzein, coumestrol, and sojagol occurred. Nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide caused lesser accumulation of the isoflavonoids, and peroxyacetyl nitrate did not result in significant accumulation. Visible toxicity and chemical changes in ozone-fumigated leaves were similar to the hypersensitive disease defense reaction of soybean leaves to the pathogen Pseudomonas glycinea, except that the phytoalexin hydroxyphaseollin was not produced in the ozone-treated leaves.

Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become anucleated and die, but their...
