Background Food security is an important alarming issue across the globe and seed is an
important structure to maintain the production capacity of plants. With the fast development …

The production of high quality fruits, vegetables and ornamental crops while employing
natural processes to maintain plant productivity, is an overarching goal of sustainable …

Ultra-violet (UV) and blue radiations are perceived by plants through several
photoreceptors. They regulate a large range of processes throughout plant life. Along with …

In this assessment we summarise advances in our knowledge of how UV-B radiation (280–
315 nm), together with other climate change factors, influence terrestrial organisms and …

Abstract Ultraviolet B (UV-B) light is a portion of solar radiation that has significant effects on
the development and metabolism of plants. Effects of UV-B on plants can be classified into …

Ultraviolet (UV) is a component of solar radiation that can be divided into three types defined
by waveband: UV-A (315–400 nm), UV-B (280–315 nm), and UV-C (< 280 nm). UV light can …

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) is present in sunlight (280–315 nm) and has diverse effects on living
organisms. Low fluence rate of exposure induces a specific photomorphogenic response …

The study was performed to analyze the impact of seed pretreatment by static magnetic field
(SMF) of 200 mT for 1 h on photosynthetic performance of soybean (Glycine max) seedlings …

During the last decades, many studies investigated the effects of UV-B on the above-ground
organs of plants, directly reached by the radiation but, to the best of our knowledges, the …

The biosynthesis of pigments is crucial for plant life. Betalains are hydrosoluble pigments
almost completely restricted to species of the core Caryophyllales and, within the fungal …
