Exogenous ascorbic acid scarcely ameliorates inhibition of photosynthesis in rice leaves by O3

The role of ascorbic acid on acute O3-induced inhibition of photosynthesis in solution-cultured paddy rice was evaluated. As pre-treatment, ascorbic acid (0, 5, and 10 mM) was added to the culture solution for 5 d before 5 h of O3 exposure (0, .1, and .3 cm3 m−3 O3) during daytime. O3 decreased phot...
