Elevated ozone (e[O3]) significantly harms potato crops, reducing biomass and tuber yield. Understanding these impacts is crucial for developing effective management strategies to protect potato production.
Area of Science:
- Agricultural Science
- Environmental Science
- Plant Physiology
Background:
- Potato is a vital global crop facing threats from environmental stressors.
- Elevated ozone (e[O3]) poses a significant risk to potato plant health and productivity.
Conclusions:
- Elevated ozone negatively impacts potato growth, biomass, and yield.
- The severity of e[O3] effects depends on exposure duration, concentration, and experimental conditions.
- Cultivar-specific tolerance to e[O3] stress exists, offering potential for breeding and management strategies.
