UV-B Radiations and Secondary Metabolites
Turkish Journal of Agriculture - Food Science and Technology, 2020 Ultraviolet-B (UV-B: 280 to 320 nm) radiations have appeared to be detrimental to plants, due to their damaging effects on proteins, lipids, membranes and DNA. UV-B radiations are a significant regulator of plants‘ secondary metabolites. High intensity of ultraviolet radiations may interfere with growth and productivity of crops. But low levels of UV-B

UV radiation increases mortality and decreases the antioxidant activity in a tephritid fly
Food and Energy Security, 2021 Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been widely used to monitor insects and conduct surface sterilizations at 365 nm and 254 nm wavelengths, respectively. The global increase in the use of UV light has raised concerns about environmental impacts and effects ...

Impact of UV-B radiation on microalgae and bacteria: a mesocosm study with computer modulated UV-B radiation addition [PDF]
Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2001 Effects of ambient and enhanced UV-B radiation (UVBR) on marine microbial plankton communities were assessed in a model ecosystem at Kristineberg Marine Research Station (KMRS) on the Swedish west coast. The system consisted of 16 aquaria (40 l) filled with surface seawater and semicontinuously run by replacing 10 l of their contents with filtered ...

Deciduous and evergreen tree responses to enhanced UV-B treatment during three years
Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2013 This paper reports a study of the strategies in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) for coping with enhanced UV-B radiation. Trees, as plants in general, possess diverse systems which respond to UV-B radiation.
