Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation has long been perceived as a stressor. However, a conceptual
U-turn has taken place, and UV-B damage is now considered rare. We question whether UV …

Light plays an important role in plants' growth and development throughout their life cycle.
Plants alter their morphological features in response to light cues of varying intensity and …

There have been significant advances in our understanding of the effects of UV-B radiation
on terrestrial ecosystems, especially in the description of mechanisms of plant response. A …

Elevated solar UV-B radiation associated with stratospheric ozone reduction may exert
effects on terrestrial ecosystems through actions on plants, microbes, and perhaps on some …

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 …

Leaves have evolved to effectively harvest light, and, in parallel, to balance photosynthetic
CO2 assimilation with water losses. At times, leaves must operate under light limiting …

Despite the intensive management practices available to modern agriculture, drought and
salinity are still major constraints on crop production and food security. Yield losses to …

During the last few decades, there has been considerable concern over the depletion of
stratospheric ozone as a result of anthropogenic pollutants. This has resulted in a …

Crops and other plants in natural conditions are routinely affected by several stresses acting
simultaneously or in sequence. In areas affected by drought, plants may also be exposed to …

Field study was conducted to evaluate the inter-and intra-specific variations in sensitivity of
two cultivars each of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. HD 2329 and HUW 234) and mung …
