Plant Physiology 73:185-187 (1983) © 1983 American Society of Plant Biologists Ozone-Induced Reduction in Quantity of Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase in Alfalfa Foliage 1Department of Plant Pathology and Center for Air Environment Studies, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802
The concentration of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase was measured in the foliage of `Moapa 69,' `Ladak,' and `Vernal' cultivars of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) after plants were exposed to 0.25 or 0.30 microliters per liter ozone for 2 hours. The quantity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase decreased 80%, 68%, and 36% in leaves which did not exhibit ozone symptoms and to undetectable levels, 99% and 79% in symptomatic foliage for each cultivar, respectively.
