Radiation is widespread in nature, including ultraviolet radiation from the sun, cosmic
radiation and radiation emitted by natural radionuclides. Over the years, the increasing …

Climatic extreme events, like droughts, heatwaves, and floods are becoming recurrent and
represent a threat to agriculture, lowering plant growth and productivity. The Mediterranean …

In recent decades, atmospheric pollution led to a progressive reduction of the ozone layer
with a consequent increase in UV-B radiation. Despite the high adaptation of olive trees to …

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been increasingly studied as an elicitor of plant defense
against biotic and abiotic stress. The biological responses to these stimuli can be either …

Accumulation of secondary metabolites is a key process in the growth and development of
plants under different biotic/abiotic constraints. Many studies highlighted the regulatory …

Every year, the olive oil industry generates a substantial amount of pomace, a semi-solid
residue made up of skin, pulp, pit, and kernel fragments. Rather than being disposed of, the …

Abstract Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family proteins play key roles in plant growth,
development, stress responses, and other physiological processes. Here, we cloned the …

Plants are inevitably grown in presence of sunlight, therefore bound to be exposed to natural
UV‐B radiation. Several studies have already been conducted with UV‐B and medicinal …

Additional artificial ultraviolet-B irradiation (UV-B) is a substitute for the natural UV-B
radiation, which is believed to modulate the antioxidants production in plants against the …

Abstract Background Elevated ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation is potentially deleterious to
many organisms specifically crop plants and has become a global challenge. Rice is an …
