Abstract
Tolerance of SO2 with respect to sexual reproduction is reported for populations of Lepidium virginicum from the Copper Basin of Tennessee, a region subjected to SO2 pollution for the past 75 yr. The offspring of plants from inside and outside the Copper Basin were fumigated with 2,130 μg/m3 SO2 for 9 h at high relative humidity in replicated experiments. As a result of SO2 stress, plants from outside the Copper Basin were less fertile than plants from inside the Copper Basin.
