Unravelling the physiological and antioxidant mechanisms of wheat tolerance to individual and combined ozone and water deficit stress

Tropospheric ozone (O₃) and water deficit stress (WS) are major abiotic constraints on wheat growth, physiology, and yield. Elevated O₃ induces oxidative stress by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), impairing photosynthesis and cellular integrity, while water deficit stress limits CO₂ uptake via stomatal closure...
