Abstract excerpt

The impact of sequential exposure to ozone (O3) and UVB (290-320 nm) was studied using two genotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana differing in UVB sensitivity. The negative impact of UVB on dry matter production and photosynthetic pigments was absent in the ecotype Landsberg erecta (LER), while the ne...
