Atmospheric Nitrogen Dioxide Improves Photosynthesis in Mulberry Leaves via Effective Utilization of Excess Absorbed Light Energy

Nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) is recognized as a toxic gaseous air pollutant. However, atmospheric NO<sub>2</sub> can be absorbed by plant leaves and subsequently participate in plant nitrogen metabolism. The metabolism of atmospheric NO<sub>2</sub> utilizes a...
