Abstract

:
From the preindustrial era to the present day, the tropospheric ozone (O3) concentration has increased dramatically in much of the industrialized world due to anthropogenic activities. O3 is the most harmful air pollutant to plants. Global surface temperatures are expected to increase with rising O3 concentration. Plants are directly affected by temperature and O3. Elevated O3 can impair physiological processes, as well as cause the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to decreased plant growth. Temperature is another important factor influencing plant development. Here, we summarize how O3 and temperature elevation can affect plant physiological and biochemical characteristics, and discuss results from studies investigating plant responses to these factors. In this review, we focused on the interactions between elevated O3 and temperature on plant responses, because neither factor acts independently. Temperature has great potential to significantly influence stomatal movement and O3 uptake. For this reason, the combined influence of both factors can yield significantly different results than those of a single factor. Plant responses to the combined effects of elevated temperature and O3 are still controversial. We attribute the substantial uncertainty of these combined effects primarily to differences in methodological approaches.

1. Introduction

Climate change, including global warming, has been occurring over the last several decades, and is now recognized as the most significant threat to human and ecosystem health [1]. Recent studies have reported that future global surface temperatures are expected to increase steadily due to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels from greenhouse gas emissions. According to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global mean surface temperature is projected to increase relative to current conditions by 1.5 °C to 4.8 °C by the end of the 21st century [2].
Additionally, the tropospheric ozone (O3) concentration is expected to rise along with the global surface temperature, because the emissions that cause O3 formation are also predicted to increase [3]. These increases may be especially significant in East Asia, where the average O3 concentration is projected to increase by 20% from the current level by the end of this century [4]. Ambient O3 concentrations have risen from less than 10 nL L−1 before the industrial revolution to midday summer concentration in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, exceeding 60 nL L−1 [5]. O3 is one of the most widespread atmospheric pollutants and is a subject of considerable concern worldwide [6,7]. As an atmospheric secondary pollutant, O3 is formed by photochemical reactions involving nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) [8,9]. The main chemical reaction in O3 formation is NO2 photolysis, which generates nitrogen oxide (NO) and a single oxygen atom (O). Under atmospheric conditions, the O atoms react with oxygen (O2) molecules to generate O3. In other reactions, VOCs combine with hydroxyl radicals (OH) to form water vapor (H2O). Subsequently, the organic radical (R−) from the previous chemical reaction is chemically converted to a peroxyl radical (RO2), which can generate NO2 by combining with O2. O3 formation generally occurs via NO2 photolysis, as shown in Figure 1 [10].
Plants are directly affected by elevated temperatures and O3 concentrations. Thus, future vegetation will be sensitive to changes in both environmental parameters [11]. Temperature is among the major factors controlling plant development; it affects photosynthesis and respiration rates, which in turn, affect plant growth [12]. Depending on the species, plants have different optimal temperature ranges. A temperature rise above the tolerance threshold of a plant species can cause irreversible damage to the plant and its growth. O3 is regarded as a phytotoxic gas that negatively affects plant development [13,14]. The plant leaf surface is the point of first contact by air pollutants such as O3. O3 usually enters the leaf via the stomata and then produces reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause considerable damage to the plant [15].

2. Plant Responses to Ozone

2.1. Visible Symptoms of Sensitive Plants to Ozone

Recent studies have demonstrated that high O3 concentrations may cause visible foliar symptoms in plants. Visible symptoms are generally caused by abiotic and biotic stresses that may include air pollutants, drought, insects, and fungal infections. The observation of visible symptoms in leaves is considered a particularly important tool for assessing O3 effects on vegetation [15]. The presence and extent of O3-induced visible foliar symptoms may signify biological damage to vegetation, although it is less biologically significant than changes in growth and biomass [16]. The effects of O3 on crops and tree seedlings have been studied in experiments using open-top chambers [17]. The older leaves of O3-sensitive plants tend to show more symptoms of injury than younger leaves. Additionally, it is well known that O3-induced visible symptoms can generally occur on sunlit foliage because light-induced oxidative stress leads to visible injury. Nevertheless, visible symptoms can also appear on shaded leaves [18]. When exposure to elevated O3 levels occurs during leaf formation, leaves may be less affected and acclimate to later O3 exposure [19,20]. Visible foliar O3 injury symptoms can be observed as whitish or light-green coloring, and bleaching, reddening, or bronzing patterns in interveinal patches [21]. Wan et al. [22] studied visible symptoms indicating O3 injury on O3-sensitive trees and shrubs around Beijing (Figure 2). Wilting occurred in Medicago truncatula under an O3 concentration of 70 nL L−1, and necrotic spots appeared on the leaves within 6 days [23]. Lee et al. [24] studied Brassica juncea L., which is widely cultivated in East Asia. Under an O3 concentration of 100 nL L−1 in an O3 fumigated growth chamber, B. juncea L. displayed visible symptoms (bleaching) indicating O3 injury (Figure 3). This study demonstrated that exposure to elevated O3 causes foliar injury. Visible injury to O3-sensitive leafy vegetables may negatively affect the quality of agricultural products and may, therefore, have financial impacts on farm markets [25].

2.2. Physiological Changes in Response to Ozone

Tropospheric O3 has many adverse effects on plants and is the most impactful form of air pollution. Elevated O3 concentrations can impair plant physiological processes within plants, such as carbon assimilation. Chronic O3 exposure reduces photosynthesis and total biomass, and accelerates senescence [26]. Several studies have reported that net photosynthesis rates in broad-leaved trees, wheat, soybean, and rice were considerably decreased by high ambient O3 concentrations [27,28,29]. The degradation of photosynthesis by O3 exposure has generally been attributed to decreased carboxylation efficiency, impacts on the photosynthetic electron transport system, and effects on the stomata [30]. Based on a study of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) content and activity, O3-induced alterations to physiological capacity were found to correlate with decreased CO2 fixation [5]. Moreover, O3 can cause decreased electron transfer between photosystems (PS) I and PS II. Chlorophyll a fluorescence is a practical indicator of photoinhibition [31]. The Fv/Fm ratio, which indicates the maximum quantum yield of PS II, is generally reduced under elevated O3. The reduction in the PS II quantum yield is known to decrease photosynthetic electron transport. ATP and NADPH production are also decreased, due to reduced demand from the Calvin cycle, in plants exposed to O3 [32]. Furthermore, the decreased photosynthetic aperture leads to the production of nonstructural carbohydrates such as sucrose and starch (Figure 4) [5].
The rate of O3 influx into leaves is controlled by the stomatal aperture. Stomatal closure is generally recognized as a response that limits O3 uptake [30]. Acute O3 exposure causes a notable decrease in stomatal conductance by causing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to accumulate in guard cells. In Arabidopsis, higher O3 concentrations caused a rapid transient decrease in stomatal conductance within 3–6 min of exposure [33]. Several studies using open-top chamber experiments have reported that O3 usually decreases stomatal conductance, consequently limiting CO2 inflow to the leaves [34]. However, this process was not supported by the results of all experiments [35]. Some studies have reported that stomata were unable to close rapidly when impaired by exposure to elevated O3 levels [36]. Regardless of the mechanisms involved, however, O3 concentration is clearly an important determinant of plant physiological conditions. Plants can enhance their O3 stress tolerance by regulating physiological mechanisms such as stomatal closure and an increase in antioxidants. This acclimation mechanism enables stomata to remain partly open and facilitates photosynthesis-related gas exchange, avoiding drastic plant growth decreases [37,38].

2.3. Biochemical Changes Caused by Ozone

During exposure to elevated O3 concentrations, O3 induces changes in plant characteristics at the biochemical and molecular levels [39,40]. O3 enters leaves through the stomata and decomposes within the apoplastic space. This produces reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as the superoxide anion (O2−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl radicals (OH−) [41]. Although O2− and H2O2 are among the less reactive types of ROS, they are still recognized as dangerous ROSs because they can diffuse into cellular compartments [42]. OH− has been thought to damage cell membranes because of its strong oxidation potential [43]. These apoplastic ROSs cause oxidative damage to cell membranes, proteins, and DNA molecules and can cause changes in enzyme activities, thereby leading to cell destruction [44]. ROS concentrations are mitigated by enzymatic antioxidants such as those involved in the ascorbate–glutathione cycle (AsA-GSH cycle), which include catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and glutathione reductase (GR) [45]. The detoxification of O2− by SOD produces H2O2, which is then removed by CAT or APX. Peroxidase (POX) requires the phenolic compound guaiacol as an electron donor, which can then be used to reduce the amount of H2O2. APX uses a reduced form of AsA to protect cells against oxidative damage caused by H2O2. The oxidized AsA formed by APX activity is regenerated through other components of the AsA–GSH cycle, including dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR). GR reduces the oxidized form of glutathione (GSSG) by reducing NADPH activity [46,47] (Figure 5).
The accumulation of ROS limits stomatal movements and abscisic acid (ABA) levels independently of CO2 [48]. Plant responses to O3 involve the regulation of guard–cell ion channels. The accumulation of ROS in the extracellular space activates a still-unknown calcium channel protein and increases cytosolic calcium accumulation, thus activating calcium-dependent protein kinases (CPKs) [49]. Calcium is a second messenger that contributes to diverse signaling cascades that regulate plant stress responses. The activation of two types of anion channels—the slow anion channel 1 (SLAC1) and the quickly activating anion channel 1 (QUAC1)—then causes stomatal closure [50,51]. ROSs activate the protein kinase open stomata 1 (OST 1), which controls the outward rectifying SLAC1 and QUAC1 channels, as well as the inward rectifying K+ channel KAT1 [52,53]. OST1 activity is limited by ABA-insensitive 1 (ABI 1) and ABI 2 protein phosphatase 2Cs, which are inactivated by the abscisic acid receptor PYR/PYL. SLAC1 is also activated by CPKs and the ROS-induced guard cell hydrogen peroxide-resistant 1 (GHR1) protein [48] (Figure 6). ROSs are thus involved in the regulation of stomatal movements, as they affect various signaling pathways.

3. Plant Responses to Elevated Temperatures

3.1. Physiological Changes Caused by Elevated Temperatures

Heat stress due to prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures is a critical threat to vegetation and crop production worldwide [54]. Elevated ambient temperatures can positively influence plant growth and metabolism. Plants respond differently to elevated temperatures depending on their developmental stages and species characteristics [55]. However, temperatures above the upper tolerance threshold of a plant species decrease their net photosynthetic rate and total biomass [56]. Constantly elevated temperatures also cause physiological changes in plants. The plant characteristic most susceptible to elevated temperatures is water status [57]. Elevated temperatures increase transpiration and stomatal conductance. Therefore, elevated temperature stress is usually related to reduced water availability [58]. Under elevated temperatures, plants usually grow smaller leaves, and extend their root systems to increase water uptake and decrease water loss from leaves through transpiration [59]. Wahid et al. [57] showed that increased temperatures greatly reduced the leaf-water potential in treated plants, compared to the control group. Elevated temperatures also negatively impacted plant height, leaf area, and total biomass of Brassica napus due to reduced CO2 assimilation [59]. Changes in CO2 assimilation under elevated temperatures are good indicators of plant responses to high temperatures. The photochemical reactions in the thylakoid lamellae have been regarded as the prime sites of injury at elevated temperatures [60]. The functioning of PS II is highly decreased or partly stopped at elevated temperatures due to it being thermolabile [61]. Additionally, the photosynthetic ability of plants at elevated temperatures is limited by the decreased activity of Rubisco, an enzyme involved in carbon fixation [12]. Further, an imbalance between photosynthesis and respiration impairs plant growth under elevated temperature conditions, because high temperatures generally decrease the rate of photosynthesis in plants while increasing the rates of photo- and dark respiration [57]. These physiological changes in plants at higher temperatures result in decreased growth and development, thus reducing total biomass and crop production.

3.2. Biochemical Changes in Response to Elevated Temperatures

Temperature is the primary environmental factor affecting plant growth and development. Generally, the biochemical characteristics of plants are more negatively affected by air temperatures above 5 °C than the optimum [55]. Elevated temperature stress may cause the excess production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress [62]. ROSs, including singlet oxygen (1O2), the superoxide radical (O2−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl radicals (OH−), can cause lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, changes in enzyme activities, and oxidative damage to membranes, all of which lead to cell death [62,63]. Plants have a variety of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems to diminish ROS levels in their tissues, thereby protecting their cell membranes from oxidative damage [64].
Elevated environmental temperatures increased leaf temperatures, which degraded the activity of enzymatic antioxidant systems that are responsible for the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in rice leaves in [65]. Measuring MDA content usually indicates the occurrence level of lipid peroxidation, which is a sign of damage in living organisms [66]. In a study with wheat kept at 33 °C, oxidative stress significantly increased membrane peroxidation by 28%, greatly increasing solute leakage [67].
Heat stress due to elevated temperatures induces the expression of stress proteins that are not produced under normal conditions [68]. Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) are exclusively involved in the heat-stress response. HSPs prevent heat-stress-induced protein denaturation and mediate protein homeostasis [69]. HSPs are classified into five families based on their molecular masses: HSP100, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, and sHSPs [70]. The diversity and abundance of HSPs that can be expressed, indicates the heat tolerance of a plant species. Heat-stress factors (HSFs) and HSPs play important roles in the plant heat-stress response [71] (Figure 7). HSFs located in the cytoplasm mainly control the transcription of HSP genes [72]. At least 21 HSF members cloned in plants have been found to cooperate in all steps of their heat-stress responses. Therefore, HSFs are regarded as transcriptional activators of heat-shock responses [73]. HSF proteins are grouped into three conserved classes (A, B, and C) based on the structural features of their oligomeric domains. HSFA1a is the master regulator for the heat-stress-induced synthesis of HSFA2, a major heat-stress factor [74]. Heat-induced gene expression resulting in HSP synthesis is initiated by mechanisms that can sense and transduce signals of heat stress to HSFs [75,76]. HSFs then bind to a heat-shock promoter element (HSE) in the promoter region of the HSP gene and initiate transcription [75]. HSPs mainly stabilize partially unfolded proteins to help maintain assembly and reduce protein degradation. However, while these proteins contain no specific information about the correct folding of any specific proteins, they do prevent unproductive interactions that result in unfolding and loss of structure and function [77].

4. Plant Responses to Ozone under Elevated Temperatures

To date, researchers have studied the effects of single abiotic stress parameters on plants. However, the interactive effects of stress factors on plants remain unclear, because different plant responses can be deduced from combinations of single factors [78]. In particular, the considerable variety of plant responses to elevated O3 is most likely related to the interactive effects of other co-occurring environmental variables including temperature, solar radiation, drought, and increased NOx in the atmosphere [79]. In this review, we focus on the plant response on the interactive effect of elevated temperature and O3. Because temperature directly affects chemical kinetics and VOC emissions, both of which are associated with O3 production, temperature is known to be a strong predictor of tropospheric O3 concentration levels. Furthermore, elevated temperatures may promote O3 accumulation by influencing sunny, dry, and stagnant atmospheres [80]. For these reasons, high temperature and elevated O3 conditions generally co-occur [11].
Because O3 and temperature can each independently affect the physiological processes of plants, the interplay of factors must be investigated. Many studies have focused on the interaction of these factors to study possible ways in which temperature affects plants exposed to O3. Plants exposed to modest temperature elevation (1–5 °C) showed increased photosynthesis, growth, and biomass in various experiments [24,81,82]. Increased O3 concentration, however, can have a variety of detrimental effects on plants, including reduced photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and growth [83]. Elevated O3 conditions are thought to suppress plant development and growth. At the same time, elevated ambient temperatures are expected to enhance plant development and growth. Nevertheless, the final effect of elevated ambient temperature and O3 on plant responses may be determined by how these factors interact with the plant’s physio–biochemical processes. Increased temperatures above the optimum may decrease the uptake of ozone by reducing stomatal conductance [55,84]. However, due to increased stomatal conductance, moderately elevated temperatures (+5 °C) can enhance ozone uptake [24,85]. Lee et al. [24,85] reported that +5 °C above an optimal temperature increased O3-induced foliar damage and reduced photosynthesis in chamber experiments with constant humidity. Conversely, O3 accelerated leaf senescence in silver birch (Betula pendula), while a +1.2 °C-temperature increase delayed leaf senescence in field experiments [86]. Elevated temperatures in natural conditions are frequently related to increased vapor pressure deficits (VPD), which significantly affect stomatal movement [79,87] as well as stomatal O3 flux [88]. Many studies have shown that stomatal O3 uptake, rather than the O3 level, is related to O3 deposition and damage to plants [88,89,90]. Pea cultivars with slower stomatal closure under elevated O3, and thus higher O3 flux in the interior leaf tissue, had more O3 damage [91]. Stomatal O3 flux can be determined by leaf boundary layer resistance and stomatal resistance; both factors are affected by heat flux and VPD [79]. Without confounding changes in humidity, the stomatal response to higher ambient temperatures obviously showed increased stomatal opening in relation to O3 flux [92,93]. Presently, the plant physiological characteristics resulting from the combined effects and interacting mechanisms of elevated O3 and temperature are debatable [24,85,87,88,94,95].

5. Conclusions

In this paper we summarized the plant responses to the combined and individual effects of elevated O3 and temperature, including physiological and biochemical changes. Plant responses to abiotic stressors, such as O3 and temperature, are dynamic and complicated. The inevitable impacts of O3 and temperature on terrestrial vegetation may exceed those of any other abiotic stress factors.
As demonstrated in Section 2, Plant Responses to Ozone, tropospheric O3 is a critical air pollutant with many negative consequences for plants. At the physiological, biochemical, and anatomical levels, the mechanisms of O3 effects on plants are relatively well characterized. Elevated O3 has been correlated with photosynthesis degradation due to lower carboxylation efficiency, effects on photosynthetic electron transport, and effects on stomata. Because O3 enters the leaf through the stomata, differences in stomatal opening may potentially cause O3 sensitivity. Because O3 can decompose within the apoplastic space in the cell after penetrating through stomatal pores, it can form reactive oxygen species (ROS).
The examples discussed in Section 3 clearly show that extremely and moderately high temperatures can cause physiological and biochemical changes in plants in different ways. Moderately elevated temperatures may positively impact plant growth and metabolism. Extremely high temperatures, however, may decrease plant growth due to an imbalance between photosynthesis and respiration. Extremely high temperatures also increase leaf temperature, thereby reducing antioxidant system function.
Increased temperature and O3 conditions frequently co-occur because elevated temperatures may increase O3 concentrations in nature. The combined influence of both factors can produce results that are remarkably different from those produced by a single factor. Stomatal movement, which can be highly determined by temperature, may be an important factor in the plant response to O3 exposure. Stomatal O3 flux can be determined by the leaf boundary layer, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and relative humidity, which can be changed by temperature. The leaf boundary layer, vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and relative humidity are also factors that influence stomatal O3 flux. As a result, the plant response to a combination of elevated O3 and temperature is still a subject of debate.
To obtain a comprehensive understanding of how plants respond to both parameters, more extensive methodological approaches, such as long-term eddy-covariance, open top chambers, and free-air enrichment systems, are needed. Plant response assessments at the organ, tissue, and cellular levels must also be extended to studies of proteomics and enzyme activity.
