Effect of Elevated Ozone on Soybean (Glycine max L.) Cultivar: Role of Orange Juice and Synthetic Ascorbic Acid

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Ozone is a kind of hazardous gas for the environment and negatively affects the plant and human health. These days, phytoextracts are commonly used as a source of bioactive compounds for reducing the detrimental environmental effects on plants. In presented study, soybean cultivar JS-335 was used for assessment of protective role of synthetic ascorbic acid (SAA) and orange juice (25 % orange juice, enriched ascorbic acid) under ozone stress conditions. The results showed that under ozone stress soybean cultivar JS-335 reduced growth, biomass and also negatively affects the biochemical properties of plants due to these changes finally caused yield losses. Foliar-applied OJ >and SAA were found to be very effective in improving plant growth and development and also increased the yield of the crop. It was discovered that a 25% OJ coupled with ascorbic acid and other essential nutrients and biomolecules was almost as effective as a 100 ppm SAA in reducing the harmful effects of ozone stress on soybean plants. As a result, it was determined that OJ, a less expensive source of ascorbic acid, can be used to improve ozone resistance in plants in ozone-prone areas.
