Among the terpenes, isoprene (C 5 ) and monoterpene hydrocarbons (C 10 ) have been shown to ameliorate abiotic stress in a number of plant species via two proposed mechanisms: membrane stabilization and direct antioxidant effects. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (C 15 ) not only share the structural properties thought to lend protective qualities to isoprene and monoterpene hydrocarbons, but also react rapidly with ozone, suggesting that sesquiterpenes may similarly enhance tolerance of abiotic stresses. To test whether sesquiterpenes protect plants against ozone, UVB light, or drought, we used transgenic lines of the wild tobacco  Nicotiana attenuata . The transgenic plants expressed a maize terpene synthase gene ( ZmTPS10 ) which produced a blend of  (E) -ß-farnesene and  (E) -α-bergamotene, or a point mutant of the same gene ( ZmTPS10M ) which produced  (E) -ß-farnesene alone,.  (E) -ß-farnesene exerted a local, external, and transient ozone-quenching effect in ozone-fumigated chambers, but we found no evidence that enhanced sesquiterpene production by the plant inhibited oxidative damage, or maintained photosynthetic function or plant fitness under acute or chronic stress. Although the sesquiterpenes  (E) -ß-farnesene and  (E) -α-bergamotene might confer benefits under intermittent heat stress, which was not tested, any roles in relieving abiotic stress may be secondary to their previously demonstrated functions in biotic interactions.
