7 Interactive Effects Between Ozone and Drought: Sorrow or Joy? 155
of information that can be obtained, bioinformatic methods exist that can analyse,
represent and combine high-throughput measurements to an extent where the inter-
pretation becomes highly intuitive.
In nature, plants are often exposed to multiple constraints, but often research is
carried out on a single stressor. This is unavoidable for understanding the response
of plants to any particular stress, but the results apply neither to natural conditions
nor to expectations. Therefore, the study of combinations of constraints that natu-
rally co-occur is of major importance, as is the use of new technologies, to unravel
the response of plants against environmental stresses, so that crops and forests can
be protected and maintained for future generations.
