Dissolved organic matter protects mosquito larvae from damaging solar UV radiation.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Mosquitoes have increased in their abundance and geographic distribution in northeastern North America, coinciding with an increase in extreme precipitation events and up to a doubling of dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentrations in some inland ...

UV-B Radiation Induces Root Bending Through the Flavonoid-Mediated Auxin Pathway in Arabidopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation-induced root bending has been reported; however, the underlying mechanisms largely remain unclear. Here, we investigate whether and how auxin and flavonoids are involved in UV-B radiation-induced root bending in Arabidopsis ...

Leaf apoplastic proteome composition in UV-B treated Arabidopsis thaliana mutants impaired in extracellular glutathione degradation [PDF]
, 2016 In plants, environmental perturbations often result in oxidative reactions in the apoplastic space, which are counteracted for by enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidative systems, including ascorbate and glutathione. The occurrence of the latter and its

Overview on topical 5-ALA photodynamic therapy use for non melanoma skin cancers [PDF]
, 2014 Ultraviolet radiation (UV) contributes to a variety of skin diseases including inflammation, degenerative aging, and cancer. Historically, humans have been exposed to UV radiation mainly through occupational exposure; recreational UV exposure, however ...

Variability of atmospheric dimethylsulphide over the southern Indian Ocean due to changes in ultraviolet radiation [PDF]
, 2003 Dimethylsulphide (DMS) is a climatically important component of global biogeochemical cycles, through its role in the sulphur cycle. Changes in ultraviolet radiation (UV) exhibit both positive and negative forcings on the dynamics of production and ...

UV radiation increases phenolic compound protection but decreases reproduction in Silene littorea.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Plants respond to changes in ultraviolet (UV) radiation both morphologically and physiologically. Among the variety of plant UV-responses, the synthesis of UV-absorbing flavonoids constitutes an effective non-enzymatic mechanism to mitigate ...

The bolometric and UV attenuation in normal spiral galaxies of the Herschel Reference Survey [PDF]
, 2015 The dust in nearby galaxies absorbs a fraction of the UV-optical-near-infrared radiation produced by stars. This energy is consequently re-emitted in the infrared.

EFFECT OF SOLAR UV RADIATION ON ANTIOXIDANT ENZYMES AND PHENOLS BIOSYNTHESIS IN LETTUCE (Lactuca sativa) [PDF]
Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2015 This study aims to evaluate the effect of solar UV radiation on defensive enzymes activities in lettuce seedlings. Seeds of lettuce were grown in high tunnels for 35 days, exposed to three different levels of solar UV, created by using three different ...

UV-B Radiation Effects on the Alpine Plant Kobresia humilis in a Qinghai-Tibet Alpine Meadow
Plants, 2022 Enhanced UV-B radiation resulting from stratospheric ozone depletion has been documented both globally and on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China. The response of Kobresia humilis, an important alpine meadow plant species, to enhanced UV-B radiation was ...
