Perception of solar UV radiation by plants: photoreceptors and mechanisms. [PDF]
Plant Physiol, 2021 About 95% of the ultraviolet (UV) photons reaching the Earth’s surface are UV-A (315–400 nm) photons. Plant responses to UV-A radiation have been less frequently studied than those to UV-B (280–315 nm) radiation.
