Abstract
In their ecosystem, plants have to cope with a plethora of potentially unfavourable conditions. Stress factors affecting plant’s fitness not only derive from natural sources, such as adverse temperature fluctuations (heating, chilling and freezing), high irradiance (photoinhibition, photooxidation), osmotic imbalance (salinity and drought), hypoxia/anoxia (flooding), mineral (macro- and micronutrient) deficiency, wounding, phytophagy and pathogen attack, but also from anthropogenic activities. The latter include xenobiotics employed in agriculture (herbicide, pesticides and fungicides), environmental (air, soil and water) pollutants and increased UV radiations. Particularly, many atmospheric pollutants, belonging to greenhouse gases, may increase the greenhouse effect, a natural warming process that prevents heat from diffusing to the outer atmosphere, thus balancing Earth cooling processes. Without the natural greenhouse effect, temperature on Earth would be much lower than it is now, and the existence of life would have not been possible. However, the rising emissions of greenhouse gases due to anthropogenic activities, namely carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), nitrous oxide (N2O), tropospheric ozone (O3) and water vapour, may cause a short-term increase of the mean global temperature on the planet surface with consequent changes in precipitation patterns (Krupa and Kickert 1989). In this scenario, life on the earth depended from the co-evolution between atmosphere and biosphere, because the gradual and long-term climate changes enabled living organism adaptation to the new temperatures, precipitation patterns and other climate conditions (Voronin and Black 2007).
