Mature leaves of oleander shrubs, grown at five sites of differing levels of air pollution in the center and the suburbs of the Athens Metropolitan area, were examined during the course of a year. Soluble sugars, starch and total lipid content of the leaves showed a peak at the end of the cold season, while a decline was detected during the main growth period. Leaf chlorophyll content was increased during spring. It seems likely that the level of air pollution in Athens did not affect the concentration and the seasonal pattern of storage substances at the leaf level. Elevated chlorophyll content was estimated in the polluted with oxides of nitrogen sites. In contrast, leaf chlorophyll content declined in sites with ozone pollution.</p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>30</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>395</first_page><last_page>404</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">788</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000788</doi><timestamp>1714655111</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/788</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
