This project aims to obtain detailed understanding of the chemical processes by which the air pollutants ozone and nitrogen dioxide damage plants. Through an interdisciplinary approach involving physical organic chemistry and analytical biochemistry, this project intends to discover important reactions between plant biomolecules and air pollutants, identify biochemical mechanisms for pollution damage in crop model plants and reveal the plant defence mechanism at the molecular level. Expected outcomes include the much-needed scientific foundations to support the development of more pollution-resilient crops in the future, ultimately enabling a breakthrough for the triple challenge of environmental pollution, climate change and food security.

该项目旨在详细了解空气污染物臭氧和二氧化氮损害植物的化学过程。该项目旨在通过物理有机化学和分析生物化学的跨学科方法，发现植物生物分子与空气污染物之间的重要反应，确定作物模式植物污染损害的生化机制，并在分子水平上揭示植物防御机制。预期成果包括急需的科学基础，以支持未来开发更具抗污染能力的作物，最终在环境污染、气候变化和粮食安全三重挑战方面取得突破。
