O{sub 3}-induced in growth, oxidative damage to protein, and specific activities of certain antioxidant enzymes were investigated in wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L. cv Roblin) grown under ambient or high CO{sub 2}. High CO{sub 2} enhanced shoot biomass. The shoot biomass was relatively unaffected in plants grown under a combination of high CO{sub 2} and O{sub 3}. O{sub 3} exposure under ambient CO{sub 2} decreased photosynthetic pigments, soluble proteins, and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase protein and enhanced oxidative damage to proteins, but these effects were not observed in plants exposed to O{sub 3} under high CO{sub 2}. O{sub 3} exposure initially enhanced the specific activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and ascorbate peroxidase irrespective of growth in ambient or high CO{sub 2}. O{sub 3} exposure initially enhanced the specific activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and ascorbate peroxidase irrespective of growth in ambient or high CO{sub 2}. However, the specific activities decreased in plants with prolonged exposure to O{sub 3} under ambient CO{sub 2} but not in plants exposed to O{sub 3} under high CO{sub 2}. Native gels revealed preferential changes in the isoform composition of superoxide dismutase, peroxidases, and ascorbate peroxidase of plants grown under a combination of high CO{sub 2} and O{sub 3}. Furthermore, growth under high CO{sub 2} and O{sub 3} led to the synthesis of one new isoform of glutathione reductase. This could explain why plants grown under a combination of high CO{sub 2} and O{sub 3} are capable of resisting O{sub 3}-induced damage to growth and proteins compared to plants exposed to O{sub 3} under ambient CO{sub 2}. 66 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab.
