Application of plasma is well-established in various industrial processes; its use has also
been suggested as an innovative technology in the food sector. Besides the ability to …

Background Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoaceae) is one of the most ancient living seed plants and
is regarded as a living fossil. G. biloba has a broad spectrum of resistance or tolerance to …

Past studies reveal opposite effects of elevated UV-B and temperature on plant growth and
concentrations of UV-B absorbing compounds, yet few studies have dealt with the combined …

Kale has a high number of structurally different flavonol glycosides and hydroxycinnamic
acid derivatives. In this study we investigated the interaction of moderate UV-B radiation and …

The aim of this study was to investigate the modifying influence of moderate ultraviolet‐B
(UV‐B) radiation exposure on structurally different flavonol glycosides and hydroxycinnamic …

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been widely used to monitor insects and conduct surface
sterilizations at 365 nm and 254 nm wavelengths, respectively. The global increase in the …

Depending on geographical location, plants are exposed to variable amounts of UVB
radiation and herbivore attack. Because the role (s) of UVB in the priming and/or …

Induced anti‐herbivore defences in plants can shape ecosystem structure and functions.
Since these are known to be highly variable, quantifying their sources of variation remains …

The flavonoids in the extracts of Ginkgo leaves have been shown to have great medical
value: thus, a method to increase the flavonoid contents in these extracts is of significant …

The effects of different abiotic agents that may modulate the activity of an insect's immune
system are reviewed. These agents include insecticides, chitin synthesis inhibitors, juvenile …
