Four modern cultivars of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were grown under elevated ozone concentration (E-O₃) in fully open-air field conditions in China for three consecutive growth seasons from 2007 to 2009. Results indicated that a mean 25% enhancement above the ambient ozone concentration (A...
