Increased UV-B radiation on the earth's surface due to depletion of stratospheric ozone layer
is one of the changes of current climate-change pattern. The deleterious effects of UV-B …

Low doses of UV-B light (280 to 315 nm) elicit photomorphogenic responses in plants that
modify biochemical composition, photosynthetic competence, morphogenesis, and defense …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

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 …

Seven percent of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from the sun is in the UV range (200–
400 nm). As it passes through the atmosphere, the total flux transmitted is greatly reduced …

Exposure to ultraviolet B (UV‐B) light regulates numerous aspects of plant metabolism,
morphology and physiology through the differential expression of hundreds of genes …

Recent studies indicate that increasing solar UV-B is not merely an environmental stress for
plants. Solar UV-B can cause plant morphogenetic effects, which can, in turn, modify the …

Abstract Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) is an intrinsic part of sunlight that is accompanied by
significant biological effects. Plants are able to perceive UV-B using the UV-B photoreceptor …

Plants raised under field conditions are acclimated to ambient levels of solar UV‐B radiation.
Morphogenic responses are part of the UV‐B acclimation process and have been …

In plants subjected to UV-B radiation, responses are activated that minimize damage caused
by UV-B. The bZIP transcription factor ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5) acts downstream …
