Effects of supplemental UV-B radiation on primary photosynthetic carboxylating enzymes and soluble proteins in leaves of C3 and C4 crop plants 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Effects of increased UV-B radiation on activities of primary photosynthetic carboxylating enzymes and on contents of soluble proteins were studied in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Bragg), pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Little Marvel), tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Rutgers), and sweet corn (Zea mays L. cv. Golden Cross Bantam). The purpose was to evaluate the responses of agronomic crops to increases in solar UV-B radiation. Plants were grown and exposed under greenhouse conditions for 6 h daily to supplemental UV-B radiation which was provided by Westinghouse FS-40 fluorescent sun lamps filtered with 0.127-mm film of cellulose acetate (UV-B treated) or Mylar S (Mylar control). Three UV-B levels were tested: 1.09 (treatment T1), 1.36 (treatment T2), and 1.83 (treatment T3) UV-Bseu where 1 UV-Bseu equals 16.0 mW-m2 weighted by EXP-[(λ-265)/21]2. These UV-B levels corresponded to 6%,21%, and 36%, respectively, of decrease in stratospheric ozone content, based on the interpolations of UV-B irradiances at a solar elevation angle of 60°. Leaves of plants of soybean, pea, and tomato exposed to UV-B radiation were generally low in RuBP carboxylase activity. On a fresh weight basis, all three UV-B radiation levels significantly reduced the enzyme activity in soybean and pea, whereas tomato plants showed significant reduction in RuBP carboxylase activity only when exposed to 1.83 and 1.36 UV-Bseu. An apparent decrease in soluble proteins was observed in leaf extracts of soybean and pea plants exposed to 1.36 and 1.83 UV-Bseu whereas higher amounts of proteins were detected in leaves of tomato plants grown under UV-B radiation. Leaves of sweet corn plants grown under Mylar control were low in PEP carboxylase activity and proteins as compared with those of control plants receiving no supplemental UV and UV-B treatment. Activities of PEP carboxylase in crode extracts from leaves of sweet corn were significantly suppressed under 1.36 and 1.83 UV-Bseu as compared with the no UV control. Some stimulation of PEP carboxylase activity was observed in corn plants exposed to 1.09 UV-Bseu. 相似文献

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants were exposed to enhanced levels of UV-B radiation in a growth chamber. Leaf discs of UV-B treated and control plants were exposed to high-light (HL) stress (PAR: 1200 mol m–2 s–1) to study whether pre-treatment with UV-B affected the photoprotective mechanisms of the plants against photoinhibition. At regular time intervals leaf discs were taken to perform chlorophyll a fluorescence and oxygen evolution measurements to assess damage to the photosystems. Also, after 1 h of HL treatment the concentration of xanthophyll cycle pigments was determined. A significantly slower decline of maximum quantum efficiency of PSII (F
v/F
m), together with a slower decline of oxygen evolution during HL stress was observed in leaf discs of UV-B treated plants compared to controls in both plant species. This indicated an increased tolerance to HL stress in UV-B treated plants. The total pool of xanthophyll cycle pigments was increased in UV-B treated pea plants compared to controls, but in bean no significant differences were found between treatments. However, in bean plants thiol concentrations were significantly enhanced by UV-B treatment, and UV-absorbing compounds increased in both species, indicating a higher antioxidant capacity. An increased leaf thickness, together with increases in antioxidant capacity could have contributed to the higher protection against photoinhibition in UV-B treated plants. 相似文献

The impact of UV-B radiation on endogenous hormones in plants has recently drawn attention from researchers. The mechanism for reduced stem elongation by UV-B might be due to changes in the phytohormone levels, especially IAA, which plays a role in stem elongation. In this study, effects of UV-B radiation on Trichosanthes kirilowii Maxim (T. kirilowii) seedlings in greenhouse-grown plants were investigated. The results indicated that: (1) In comparison to controls, exposure to 0.029 Jm?2 s?1. UV-B radiation led to accumulation of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA) and zeatinriboside (ZR) in the plant contents, and decreased contents of endogenous indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellic acid (GA1/3). Exposure to UV-B radiation reduced the height and leaf area of plants. As a result, total biomass (plant dry weight) was lower. (2) In comparison to controls, addition of 2 mg l?1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid (α-NAA) slightly increased the contents of IAA, GA1/3 and ZR, and decreased the content of ABA in leaves. This addition of α-NAA significantly increased plant height and leaf area, but only slightly increased total biomass. (3) Addition of α-NAA to UV-B-exposed plants: increased the content of endogenous IAA, GA1/3 and ZR; decreased accumulation of endogenous ABA; and increased plant height and leaf area in comparison to plants that only were exposed to UV-B. Moreover, total biomass increased slightly. This suggests that addition of α-NAA may compensate to a certain extent for the lack of IAA resulting from UV-B radiation; it also increases the content of GA1/3 and ZR, decreases the accumulation of ABA, and promotes the growth of plants. 相似文献

In true leaves of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L., cv. Berbukskaya) 11-day-old seedlings, pretreatment with 1.6 mM chlorocholine chloride (CCC) resulted in the improved
photosystem II (PSII) tolerance to UV-B radiation, an increase in the contents of cytokinins, ABA, and H2O2, but a decrease in the content of gibberellins. It is suggested that development of increased PSII tolerance to UV-B under
the influence of CCC is partially related to the increase in the contents of ABA, cytokinins, and UV-absorbing pigments in
the leaves of pretreated plants. 相似文献

Resistance-related physiological response of rice leaves to the compound stress of enhanced UV-B radiation and Magnaporthe oryzae 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Yongmei He Xiang Li Fangdong Zhan Chunmei Xie Yanqun Zu Yuan Li 《Journal of Plant Interactions》2018,13(1):321-328
An enhanced UV-B radiation (5.0?kJ?m?2) was supplied before, during, and after Magnaporthe oryzae infection. The effects of single and compound stress of the UV-B radiation and M. oryzae on the resistance physiology and gene expression of rice leaves were examined. Results revealed that UV-B radiation given before M. oryzae infection (UV-B?→?M.) significantly increased the pathogenesis-related proteins (PRs) activities of phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL), lipoxygenase (LOX), chitinase (CHT), and β-1,3-glucanase, the resistance-related substances (flavonoids and total phenols) content, and resistance-related genes (OsPAL and OsCHT) expression, thereby improving the disease resistance of rice leaves. Simultaneous exposure to UV-B radiation and M. oryzae (UV-B/M.) significantly increased the OsLOX2 expression and the PRs activities. Exposure to UV-B radiation after M. oryzae infection (M.?→?UV-B) decreased the flavonoid content, did not improve the PRs activity, and increased OsLOX2 expression. Compound treatments of UV-B?→?M., UV-B/M., and M.?→?UV-B reduced the disease index by 62.3%, 40.2%, and 26.6%, respectively, indicating UV-B radiation inhibited the occurrence of M. oryzae disease, but its inhibitory effect weakened when it was provided after M. oryzae infection. Hence, rice responded to the compound stress of UV-B radiation and M. oryzae through a resistance-related physiological mechanism associated with the sequence of stress occurrence. 相似文献

One of the abiotic stress factors affecting plant metabolism is ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. 5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a key precursor of porphyrin biosynthesis, promotes plant growth and crop yields. To investigate the alleviating effects of exogenous ALA on the damages caused by UV-B exposure, two different concentrations [10 ppm (ALA1) and 25 ppm (ALA2)] of ALA were applied to lettuce seedlings for 24 h and then they were exposed to 3.3 W m?2 UV-B. Results showed that UV-B treatment significantly decreased chlorophyll a and b (Chl a and b) concentration, enhanced the activity of antioxidant enzymes, total phenolic concentration, soluble sugar contents, expression of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and γ-tocopherol methyltransferase (γ-TMT) genes, the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and the rate of superoxide radical (\({\text{O}}_{2}^{ - }\)) generation in the lettuce seedlings when compared to the control. Pre-treatment with exogenous ALA significantly enhanced UV-B stress tolerance in lettuce seedlings by decreasing the reactive oxygen species. On the other hand, ALA application caused more increases in the PAL and γ-TMT gene expression, antioxidant enzymes activities, Chl a and b concentration, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity and the concentrations of soluble sugars. Obtained results indicated that UV-B radiation exerts an adverse effect on lettuce seedlings, and some of the negative effects of UV-B radiation can be alleviated by exogenous ALA. 相似文献

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Berbukskaya) seedlings were pre-treated with choline compounds, 19 mM 2-ethyltrimethylammonium chloride (Ch) or 1.6 mM 2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CCh), during 24 h, then after 6 d the excised primary leaves were exposed to UV-B and high temperature stress. Chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence, delayed light emission, accumulation of photosynthetic pigments, contents of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and activities of the active oxygen detoxifying enzymes (superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase) were examined. Pre-treatment of plants with Ch or CCh enhanced the resistance of photosystem 2 (PS2) photochemistry to UV-B and heat injuries. The higher stress resistance can be explained by the increased activity of the detoxifying enzymes. The increased content of UV-B-absorbing pigments may also contribute to the enhanced resistance of choline-treated plants to UV-B radiation. 相似文献

Long-term effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on flavonoid biosynthesis were investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana using the sun simulators of the Helmholtz Zentrum München. The plants, which are widely used as a model system, were grown (1) at high photosynthetically active radiation (PAR; 1,310 µmol m?2?s?1) and high biologically effective UV irradiation (UV-BBE 180 mW m?2) during a whole vegetative growth period. Under this irradiation regime, the levels of quercetin products were distinctively elevated with increasing UV-B irradiance. (2) Cultivation at high PAR (1,270 µmol m?2?s?1) and low UV-B (UV-BBE 25 mW m?2) resulted in somewhat lower levels of quercetin products compared to the high-UV-BBE conditions, and only a slight increase with increasing UV-B irradiance was observed. On the other hand, when the plants were grown (3) at low PAR (540 µmol m?2?s?1) and high UV-B (UV-BBE 180 mW m?2), the accumulation of quercetin products strongly increased from very low levels with increasing amounts of UV-B but the accumulation of kaempferol derivatives and sinapoyl glucose was less pronounced. We conclude (4) that the accumulation of quercetin products triggered by PAR leads to a basic UV protection that is further increased by UV-B radiation. Based on our data, (5) a combined effect of PAR and different spectral sections of UV radiation is satisfactorily described by a biological weighting function, which again emphasizes the additional role of UV-A (315–400 nm) in UV action on A. thaliana. 相似文献

The influence of ultraviolet-B radiation on the growth, pigment production and chlorophyll fluorescence of Norway spruce seedlings 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.)Karst.) from seven seed sources was grown in a greenhouse with 8.3 and 14.7 kJ·m−2·d−1 m UV-BBE (biologically effective UV-B: 280–320 nm) irradiation, and with no supplemental irradiation as control. The seedlings total
biomass (dry weight) and shoot growth decreased with high UV-B treatment but spruce from low elevation seed sources were more
affected. The seedlings grown at the highest UV-B irradiance (14.7 kJ·m−2·d−1) showed from 5 to 38% inhibition of total biomass and 15 to 70 % shoot growth inhibition. Norway spruce populations from
higher altitude seed sources manifested greater tolerance to UV-B radiation compared to plants from low altitudes. Changes
in phospholipids and protective pigments were also determined. The plants grown at the lower UV-B irradiance (8.3 kJ·m−2·d−1) showed greater ability to concentrations UV-B-absorbing pigments then control plants. Chlorophyll a fluorescence parameter
Rfd, (Rfd=(Fm-Fs)/Fs) showed a significant decrease in needles of UV-B treated plants and this correlated with the altitude of seed source. Exposure
to UV-B affect levels of the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm). Results from this study suggest that the response to increased levels of UV-B radiation is depended upon the ecotypic differentiation
of Norway spruce and involved changes in metabolites in plant tissues. 相似文献

Exclusion of UV (280–380 nm) radiation from the solar spectrum can be an important tool to assess the impact of ambient UV
radiation on plant growth and performance of crop plants. The effect of exclusion of UV-B and UV-A from solar radiation on
the growth and photosynthetic components in soybean (Glycine max) leaves were investigated. Exclusion of solar UV-B and UV-B/A radiation, enhanced the fresh weight, dry weight, leaf area
as well as induced a dramatic increase in plant height, which reflected a net increase in biomass. Dry weight increase per
unit leaf area was quite significant upon both UV-B and UV-B/A exclusion from the solar spectrum. However, no changes in chlorophyll
a and b contents were observed by exclusion of solar UV radiation but the content of carotenoids was significantly (34–46%) lowered.
Analysis of chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence transient parameters of leaf segments suggested no change in the F
v/F
m value due to UV-B or UV-B/A exclusion. Only a small reduction in photo-oxidized signal I (P700+)/unit Chl was noted. Interestingly the total soluble protein content per unit leaf area increased by 18% in UV-B/A and 40%
in UV-B excluded samples, suggesting a unique upregulation of biosynthesis and accumulation of biomass. Solar UV radiation
thus seems to primarily affect the photomorphogenic regulatory system that leads to an enhanced growth of leaves and an enhanced
rate of net photosynthesis in soybean, a crop plant of economic importance. The presence of ultra-violet components in sunlight
seems to arrest carbon sequestration in plants.

The metabolic reasons associated with differential sensitivity of C3 and C4 plant species to enhanced UV-B under varying soil nutrient levels are not well understood. In the present study, spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. var All Green), a C3 and amaranthus (Amaranthus tricolor L. var Pusa Badi Chaulai), a C4 plant were subjected to enhanced UV-B (280–315 nm; 7.2 kJ m?2 day?1) over ambient under varying soil nutrient levels. The nutrient amendments were recommended Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), 1.5× recommended NPK, 1.5× recommended N and 1.5× recommended K. Enhanced UV-B negatively affected both the species at all nutrient levels, but the reductions varied with nutrient concentration and combinations. Reductions in photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and chlorophyll content were significantly more in spinach compared with amaranthus. The reduction in photosynthetic rate was maximum at 1.5× recommended K and minimum in 1.5× NPK amended plants. The oxidative damage to membranes measured in terms of malondialdehyde content was significantly higher in spinach compared with amaranthus. Enhanced UV-B reduced SOD activity in both the plants except in amaranthus at 1.5× recommended K. POX activity increased under enhanced UV-B at all nutrient levels in amaranthus, but only at 1.5× K in spinach. Amaranthus had significantly higher UV-B-absorbing compounds than spinach even under UV-B stress. Lowest reductions in yield and total biomass under enhanced UV-B compared with ambient were observed in amaranthus grown at 1.5× recommended NPK. Enhanced UV-B did not significantly change the nitrogen use efficiency in amaranthus at all NPK levels, but reduced in spinach except at 1.5× K. These findings suggest that the differential sensitivity of the test species under enhanced UV-B at varying nutrient levels is due to varying antioxidative and UV-B screening capacity, and their ability to utilize nutrients. Amaranthus tolerated enhanced UV-B stress more than spinach at all nutrient levels and 1.5× recommended NPK lowered the sensitivity maximally to enhanced UV-B with respect to photosynthesis, biomass and yield. PCA score has also confirmed the lower sensitivity of amaranthus compared with spinach with respect to the measured physiological and biochemical parameters. 相似文献

Response of photosynthesis to high light and drought for Arabidopsis thaliana grown under a UV-B enhanced light regime 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Arabidopsis thaliana grown in a light regime that included ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation (6 kJ m−2 d−1) had similar light-saturated photosynthetic rates but up to 50% lower stomatal conductance rates, as compared to plants grown
without UV-B radiation. Growth responses of Arabidopsis to UV-B radiation included lower leaf area (25%) and biomass (10%)
and higher UV-B absorbing compounds (30%) and chlorophyll content (52%). Lower stomatal conductance rates for plants grown
with UV-B radiation were, in part, due to lower stomatal density on the adaxial surface. Plants grown with UV-B radiation
had more capacity to down regulate photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) as shown by up to 25% lower φPSII and 30% higher non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence under saturating light. These contributed to a smaller
reduction in the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (F
v/F
m), greater dark-recovery of F
v/F
m, and higher light-saturated carbon assimilation and stomatal conductance and transpiration rates after a four-hour high light
treatment for plants grown with UV-B radiation. Plants grown with UV-B were more tolerant to a 12 day drought treatment than
plants grown without UV-B as indicated by two times higher photosynthetic rates and 12% higher relative water content. UV-B-grown
plants also had three times higher proline content. Higher tolerance to drought stress for Arabidopsis plants grown under
UV-B radiation may be attributed to both increased proline content and decreased stomatal conductance. Growth of Arabidopsis
in a UV-B-enhanced light regime increased tolerance to high light exposure and drought stress. 相似文献

The effects of enhanced UV-B radiation on growth and photosynthetic activities were investigated in fronds of the aquatic fern Azolla microphylla Kaulf. The fronds were exposed to UV-B radiation intermittently once in 3 d during 12 d. Biomass and relative growth rate of UV-B treated Azolla plants and the heterocyst frequency of the UV-B treated symbiont decreased resulting in an increase in doubling time over the control. The doubling time was 3.08 d for control and 3.35 d for UV-B irradiated plants. Chl and carotenoid contents per unit fresh mass and photosystem 2 (PS2) activity also decreased under UV-B treatment. Measurements of photosynthetic activity in terms of fluorescence kinetics and PS2 mediated O2 evolution showed that the aquatic fern Azolla is sensitive to UV-B damage. 相似文献

Enhanced UV-B radiation alleviates the adverse effects of summer drought in two Mediterranean pines under field conditions 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

The effects of enhanced UV-B (290-320 nm) radiation on two native Mediterranean pines (Pinus pinea L., Pinus halepensis Mill.) were recorded during a one-year field study. Plants received ambient or ambient plus supplemental UV-B radiation (simulating a 15% stratospheric ozone depletion over Patras. Greece, 38.3°N. 29.1°E) and only natural precipitation, i.e. they were simultaneously exposed to other natural stresses. particularly water stress during summer. Supplemental UV-B irradiation started in early February, 1993 and up to late June, no effects were observed on growth and photochemical efficiency of photosystem II, as measured by chlorophy II fluorescence induction. Water stress during the summer was manifested in the control plants as a decline in the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm), the apparent photon yield for oxygen evolution (φl) and the photosynthetic capacity at 5% CO2 (Pm). In addition, a partial needle loss was evident. Under supplemental UV-B radiation, however, the decreases in Fv/Fm, φi, and Pm. as well as needle losses were significantly less. Soon after the first heavy autumn rains. photosynthetic parameters in both control and UV-B treated plants recovered to similar values. but the transient summer superiority of UV-B irradiated plants resulted in a significant increase in their dry weight measured at plant harvest. during late January. 1994. Plant height. UV-B absorbing compounds, photosynthetic pigments and relative water content measured at late spring. late summer and at plant harvest, were not significantly affected by supplemental UV-B radiation. The results indicate that enhanced UV-B radiation may be beneficial for Mediterranean pines through a partial alleviation of the adverse effects of summer drought. 相似文献

Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants were sprayed with salicylic acid (SA) and treated with ultraviolet radiation UV-A (320–390 nm), UV-B (312 nm),
and UV-C (254 nm) of 6.1, 5.8, and 5.7 W m−2, respectively. UV significantly reduced contents of chlorophyll (Chl) a and b, and carotenoids (Car). SA treatment moderated Chl and Car reduction in plants treated with UV-B and UV-C. The quantity of
antocyanins, flavonoids, rutin, and UV-absorbing compounds in plants that were treated with UV-B, UV-C, and SA were significantly
increased. Foliar spray of SA counteracted the UV effects on pepper. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe evening chronotype is associated with psychological symptoms such as depressed mood, while skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) may affect mood and behavior through neural and humoral routes. This pilot study aimed to investigate the impact of whole-body narrow-band (NB) UV-B exposure on current mood state and circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3), interleukin-6 (IL-6), cortisol and β-endorphin (β-END) levels in healthy participants. Here, eleven healthy women received full-body NB UV-B exposures on four afternoons, and the chronotype was assessed with a shortened version of Horne and Östberg’s Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Perceived mood was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and serum 25(OH)D3, IL-6, cortisol and β-END concentrations were monitored daily. Decreasing VAS values showed mood to improve significantly over the five days after the four suberythematous NB UV-B exposures (p = .038), and the more the circadian preference was inclined toward eveningness, the greater the improvement in the mood dimension of wellbeing (p = .021). Baseline mood state was correlated with baseline 25(OH)D3 (r = ?0.54, 95% CI: ?0.86 to ?0.09) and with baseline cortisol (r = ?0.57, 95% CI: ?0.87 to ?0.04). During the NB UV-B exposures, 25(OH)D3 increased significantly, as expected, and IL-6 declined significantly by ?0.35 (95% CI: ?0.69 to ?0.07) pg/mL from the initial values of 1.12 ± 0.66 pg/mL (p = .025). In conclusion, in our pilot study, NB UV-B exposure improved mood, especially among those with evening preference for their daily activities, as well as circulating 25(OH)D3 levels, whereas circulating IL-6 levels decreased.Abbreviations: UVR: Ultraviolet radiation; NB UV-B: narrow-band UV-B; VAS: Visual Analogue Scales; β-END: β-endorphin; IL-6: Interleukin-6 相似文献

A sandy culture experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of exogenous CaCl2 on the indole alkaloid accumulation in Catharanthus roseus under salt stress. One-month seedlings of C. roseus were treated with the different concentrations of NaCl (0, 50, and 100 mmol l? 1) and 7.5 mmol l? 1 CaCl2. The plant samples were analyzed after 7 days of the treatments. The NaCl-stressed plants showed decrease of fresh and dry weight and increase of malondialdehyde (MDA) content compared to control. Tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) activity increased significantly under 50 mmol l? 1 NaCl without CaCl2 addition, 50 mmol l? 1 NaCl with 7.5 mmol l? 1 CaCl2, and CaCl2 treatment without NaCl addition. There was a significant increase in peroxidase activity under NaCl stress compared to control. The vindoline, catharanthine, vincristine, and vinblastine contents increased under salt stress (especially with 50 mmol l? 1 NaCl treatment with or without CaCl2). Addition of CaCl2 to NaCl-stressed plants increased biomass, TDC activity, vindoline, and catharanthine contents and lowered MDA and vincirstine contents compared to the plants without CaCl2. The plants treated with CaCl2 alone showed higher TDC activity, vindoline, catharanthine, and vinblastine content when compared to control. The results showed that exogenous CaCl2 could promote the indole alkaloid metabolism under salt stress. 相似文献

In greenhouse experiments, selenium (Se) has been shown to defend plants against detrimental effects of heavy UV-B radiation
stress. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this positive effect can be found in open-field conditions with enhancement
of UV-B radiation. In the experiment, conducted with strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa, cultivars “Jonsok” and “Polka”) over two growing seasons, plants were exposed to UV-B radiation (including UV-A) and cultivated
without Se or supplied with Se added at two levels (0.1 and 1.0 mg kg−1). The plants were monitored for growth, flavonoids, chlorophyll fluorescence, net photosynthesis as well as tissue and cell
structure. Photosystem II was observed to be sensitive to UV-B stress under field conditions. In the leaves, a decrease in
Fv/Fm was seen at the end of the growing season, implying a cumulative effect of UV-B stress. Several parameters, especially cell
and tissue structures, were affected by UV-B and UV-A treatments, which proves the need for UV-A control in outdoor UV-B supplementation
studies. Addition of Se did not ameliorate the harmful effects of UV-B but the lower Se-increment level increased leaf growth.
The effects of UV-B and Se differed during the two experimental years, indicating the need to repeat experiments during several
growing seasons. 相似文献
