Effect of ozone on infection of wild strawberry by Xanthomonas fragariae

Interaction studies were conducted to determine the response of wild strawberry to ozone and the effects of ozone on the infection of wild strawberry by Xanthomonas fragariae. Data from the interaction studies showed that bacterial infection of wild strawberry was inhibited by ozone exposure at concentrations that caused visible injury to the plants. Since wild strawberry was sensitive to ozone exposure and the threshold for symptom development was higher than the current ambient air quality standard for ozone, the possible use of the plant as an indicator of ambient phytotoxic concentrations of ozone was suggested.
