Evolution of UV-B regulation and protection in plants
Publikation/Tidskrift/Serie: Advances in Space Research Plants
have evolved under the influence of UV-B radiation and have
acquired systems for monitoring it and investing appropriate
resources for protection against it, i.e., filters, quenchers of
radicals and reactive oxygen species, and repair systems. An
hypothesis for how plants monitor radiation has been presented.
