Popis: Using open-top chambers, the impact of ozone (O3) on foliar carboxylases of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was investigated. From sowing, beans were exposed to non-filtered air (NF) and NF supplied with 40 (+40) and 80 (+80) nL L−1 O3. Twenty days after emergence, primary and first trifoliate leaves were sampled. Biochemical characteristics of leaves from +40 were quite similar to those from NF. Conversely, +80 induced distinct biochemical effects in primary and first trifoliate leaves. Regarding primary leaves, +80 reduced ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activity by 33% whereas it stimulated phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc) activity by 376%. The reduction in Rubisco activity was accompanied by a decrease in both Rubisco subunit amounts and a consistent oxidative modification of the Rubisco small subunit (SSU). These changes came with a drastic loss in pigmentation. Regarding first trifoliate leaves, +80 stimulated Rubisco activity by 33% while it disturbed neither PEPc activity nor pigmentation. Surprisingly, the enhanced Rubisco activity was associated with a slight decrease in Rubisco protein quantity, which was not coupled with the formation of carbonyl groups in Rubisco-SSU.
