UV-B radiation is a key environmental signal that initiates diverse responses in plants that
affect metabolism, development, and viability. Many effects of UV-B involve the differential …

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is a minor fraction of the solar spectrum reaching the ground
surface. In this assessment we summarize the results of previous work on the effects of the …

This paper provides an overview of existing literature on the ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation
effects on field crops. Earlier reviews on field crop responses to UV-B considered few …

The potential effects of increased ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280–320 nm) simulating
stratospheric ozone depletion in field studies with vascular plants have previously been …

Abstract Grape (Vitis vinifera cv Silvaner) vine plants were cultivated under shaded
conditions in the absence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in a greenhouse, and subsequently …

To test whether the altitudinal distribution of trees is determined by a carbon shortage or an
insufficient sugar fraction (sugar: starch ratio) in treeline trees, we studied the status of …

The effects of UV-B radiation on the gas exchange rates, chlorophyll fluorescence,
pigmentation, soluble sugars, starch, soluble proteins and carboxylating enzyme activities of …

No single hypothesis or theory has been widely accepted for explaining the functional
mechanism of global alpine/arctic treeline formation. The present study tested whether the …

This study aimed to quantify and identify flavonoids involved in the response of nine
populations of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) to ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B). Plants were …

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation (280–320 nm) is an environmental challenge affecting a
number of metabolic functions through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) …
