title: Influence of elevated carbon dioxide and ozone on the foliar nonvolatile terpenoids in ginkgo biloba.
abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of elevated O(3) and elevated CO(2,) singly and in combination, on the contents of nonvolatile terpenoids in leaves of Ginkgo Biloba. The results showed that elevated CO(2), alone and in combination with elevated O(3) increased concentrations of all the determined terpenoids, while elevated O(3) alone only increased concentration of bilobalide. These results demonstrated that the metabolism of terpenoids in ginkgo leaves was more sensitive to elevated CO(2) than elevated O(3).
