Abstract Additional artificial ultraviolet-B irradiation (UV-B) is a substitute for the natural UV-B radiation, which believed to modulate antioxidants production in plants against abiotic stress. The present research was formulated by using an indoor chamber, capable of irradiating at single wavelength 315 nm on spearmint. In vitro destructive analysis revealed reduction accumulation chlorophy...
