Largely because of concerns regarding global climate change, there is a burgeoning
interest in the application of fundamental scientific knowledge in order to better exploit …

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of F agus sylvatica L. that are
relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are …

Duckweeds (Lemnaceae species) are extensively used models in ecotoxicology, and
chlorophyll fluorescence imaging offers a sensitive and high throughput platform for …

La luz es uno de los factores más importantes que regulan el crecimiento y desarrollo de las
plantas. Sin embargo, el aumento de la radiación ultravioleta-B debido a la acción …

There is evidence that UV radiation may detrimentally affect the biosynthesis of carotenoids,
particularly de-epoxided xanthophylls, while strongly promoting phenylpropanoid …

Global warming has endangered crop production by reducing water availability and
increasing temperature. Kaolin may protect plants against these conditions by reflecting the …

The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of acclimation to ultraviolet (UV)
and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) on photoprotective mechanisms in barley …

Forest functionality and productivity are directly related to canopy light interception and can
be affected by potential damage from high irradiance. However, the mechanisms by which …

We investigated sex-related morphological and physiological responses to enhanced UV-B
radiation in the dioecious species Populus cathayana Rehd. Cuttings were subjected to two …

We tested the hypotheses that (i) a short period of high maximum temperature disrupts gas
exchange and arrests berry growth and sugar accumulation in irrigated Shiraz vines (Vitis …
