The aim was to explore their strategies to allocate potentially toxic ions at organism level, and the consequential physiological and biochemical adjustments. Water and ionic relations, gas exchange and PSII performance, the concentration of photosynthetic pigments, and the activity of antioxidant defences, were measured. Q. ilex displayed a greater capacity to exclude Na+ and Cl- from the leaf than A. unedo, in part as a consequence of greater reductions in transpiration rates. Salt-induced reductions in CO2 assimilation resulted in Q. ilex suffering from excess of light to a greater extent than A. unedo. Consistently, in Q. ilex effective mechanisms of nonphotochemical quenching, also sustained by the lutein epoxide-lutein cycle, operated in response to salinity stress. Q. ilex also displayed a superior capacity to detoxify reactive oxygen species (ROS) than A. unedo. Our data suggest that the ability to exclude salt from actively growing shoot organs depends on the metabolic cost of sustaining leaf construction, i.e. species-specific leaf life-span, and the relative strategies to cope with salt-induced water stress. We discuss how contrasting abilities to restrict the entry and transport of salt in sensitive organs relates with species-specific salt tolerance.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mereu, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerosa, Giacomo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marzuoli, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fusaro, Lina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatori, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finco, Angelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spano, Donatella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manes, Fausto</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas exchange and JIP-test parameters of two Mediterranean maquis species are affected by sea spray and ozone interaction</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental and Experimental Botany</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antagonistic interaction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">dark respiration</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JIP-test</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OTC</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidative stress</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PSI</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elsevier B.V.</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">73</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">80-88</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean maquis coastal ecosystems are subject to multiple oxidative stresses of both natural and anthropic origin, as sea spray, drought, high irradiance and ozone. In this article it is hypothesized that the interaction of ozone and sea spray is additive as a consequence of a higher reactive oxigen species accumulation. To test the hypothesis, an experiment was conducted in an Open Top Chambers facility where plants of Quercus ilex L. and Arbutus unedo L. were exposed to two levels of ozone and two levels of sea spray. The response of the species was evaluated by measurements of structural parameters (shoot growth and leaf biomass) and physiological parameters (leaf level gas exchange and chlorophyll a ﬂuorescence). The results contradict the hypothesis as the interaction of the two stresses is antagonistic on both species. The structure of both species was negatively affected by sea spray, however the two stresses combined allowed a higher growth and leaf area in A. unedo. The leaf level physiology of A. unedo was only moderately affected by the two stresses alone and in combined, while that of Q. ilex was altered to a further extent by sea spray and by its combination with ozone: photosynthesis and efﬁciency of the PSII was reduced by sea spray while the ratio of PSII to PSI was increased; the two stresses combined, instead, decreased the PSII to PSI ratio allowing for a higher photosynthesis. It is concluded that A. unedo is more resistant than Q. ilex to the two stresses alone and in combination, that ozone and sea spray interact antagonistically, and that the activity of PSI has a key role in the stress response</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bussotti, Filippo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Desotgiu, Rosanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cascio, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pollastrini, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gravano, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerosa, Giacomo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marzuoli, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nali, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lorenzini, Giacomo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatori, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manes, Fausto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schaub, Marcus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Strasser, Reto J.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ozone stress in woody plants assessed with chlorophyll a fluorescence.

Findings from literature and open-top chamber experiments were used in this review, in order to identify damage mechanisms and repair/avoidance strategies. Main results are summarised below. (i) The most widely used parameter to assess the response to ozone treatment was the quantum yield of primary photochemistry in the dark-adapted state (ϕPo, or FV/FM). This parameter proved to be very stable in stress and control conditions. Ozone-induced stress – and the related loss of photosynthetic efﬁciency and performance – was characterized by the change occurring in all parameters connected with the controlled dissipation: reduction of FM, FV/FM, RC/CS0 (in the ﬂuorescence transient analysis) and NPQ (in theMF analysis). This can be considered as a down-regulationmechanism aimed at lowering the electron supply as a consequence of a reduced demand from the Calvin cycle. (ii) The FT analysis revealed a change in the I–P region shape, indicating that events beyond PSI are affected. These events include a lesser density of PSI itself and the compromised ability of the end acceptors of electrons (ferredoxine, NADP + ) and RuBP to manage effectively the ﬂux of electrons. This behaviour may create an imbalance between electrons sent by the electron transport chain and those reaching the acceptors beyond PSI. Free electrons (those coming from PSI, but that do not reach the end acceptors) can activate the oxygen from fundamental to excited status, with production of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species), thus inducing photo-oxidation processes of the cellular content. (iii) In many cases a temporarily enhanced efﬁciency of electron trapping and transport (expressed by the parameters FV/FM, ET/TR, PIABS, pQ) in PSII system has been observed. That efﬁciency has been connected to the triggering of repair processes, but when it is connected to a reduced end acceptor capacity in combination with reduced Calvin cycle energy demand lead to over-excitation of the photosynthetic apparatus and initiates response towards visible foliar injury. (iv) The behaviour of F0 can help us distinguish between different response strategies. The increase of F0 observed in some ozone-treated plant species is considered an expression of irreversible damage in PSII, whereas lowered values of this parameter may indicate the activation of PSII in the cells surrounding the damaged one, as part of a compensative process. Future directions for the research in this ﬁeld concern: (i) the possibility to combine ﬂuorescence parameters with carbon assimilation and growth to support the study on critical levels and (ii) the analysis of the events concerning the activity of PSI and the events leading to the ﬁxation of CO2, by using innovative technologies</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Elsevier B.V.</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitale, Marcello</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatori, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loreto, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fares, Silvano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manes, Fausto</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Physiological responses of Quercus ilex Leaves to Water Stress and Acute Ozone Exposure Under Controlled Conditions</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Water, Air, and Soil Pollution</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gas exchange</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holm oak (Quercus ilex)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">lipoxygenase products</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">monoterpene emission</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">o3 flux</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">photosynthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stomatal conductance</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s11270-007-9560-4</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">189</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">113 - 125</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The combined effect of water stress and ozone (O3) on stomatal O3 flux, damage to photosynthesis, and detoxification by biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) in Quercus ilex leaves was studied.
