This paper reports the results of wheat plants exposed to SO(,2). The SO(,2)-treated and control plant samples were periodically analyzed with respect to their carbohydrate content, caloric values, phytomass accumulations and net primary productivity. An initial increase, but later decrease in all these parameters was recorded in SO(,2)-treated plants. These effects in wheat plants have been interpreted in terms of energy budget of plants under SO(,2)-stress condition.
