Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation is an intrinsic fraction of sunlight that plants perceive through
the UVR8 photoreceptor. UVR8 is a homodimer in its ground state that monomerizes upon …

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation directly affects plants and microorganisms, but also alters the
species-specific interactions between them. The distinct bands of UV radiation, UV-A, UV-B …

Tropisms, growth responses to environmental stimuli such as light or gravity, are spectacular
examples of adaptive plant development. The plant hormone auxin serves as a major …

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 …

Light absorption by plants changes the composition of light inside vegetation. Blue (B) and
red (R) light are used for photosynthesis whereas far-red (FR) and green light are reflected …

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is one of the fastest growing plants. Gibberellin (GA) is
a key phytohormone regulating growth, but there are few studies on the growth of Moso …

SUMMARY COP1 is a critical repressor of plant photomorphogenesis in darkness. However,
COP1 plays distinct roles in the photoreceptor UVR8 pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana. COP1 …

Plants are known to respond to Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B: 280–320 nm) by generating
phenolic metabolites which absorbs UV-B light. Phenolics are extraordinarily abundant in …

Introduction Flavonoids are active substances in many herbal medicines, and Areca catechu
fruit (AF), an important component in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is rich in …

Photosynthetic organisms need to respond frequently to the fluctuation of light quality and
light quantity in their habitat. In response to the fluctuation of different single wavelength …
