| Research Abstract |
Antisense and sense DNA for an ozone-inducible 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase from poplar, under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, was introduced into poplar to generate transgenic plants. Lower rates of ozone-induced ethylene production were observed in fifteen of twenty transgenic plants than in the wild-type plants. Ozone-induced visible damage was attenuated in these fifteen lines, and the extent of damage was positively related to the level of ozone-induced ethylene production. On the other hand higher rates of ozone-induced ethylene production were observed in four of ten transgenic plants than in the wild-type plants. No significant differences in growth and morphology were observed between transgenic and wild-type plants. Stomatal conductance of transgenic plants during ozone exposure was higher than that of wild-type plants. These findings indicate that the introduction of antisense and sense DNA for an ozone-inducible ACC synthase can improve the ozone tolerance of plants without reducing their gas absorption and productivity.
