The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of SA on UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C stressed plants. Data showed that SA counteracted the UV harmful effects on pepper. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seedlings sprayed with salicylic acid (SA) and treated with 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 increased contents of as...

INTRODUCTION Ultraviolet type C (UV-C) radiation has higher energy than the UV-B radiation and has been less studied because it is completely absorbed by the ozone layer. However, artificial UV-C radiation can generate diverse modifications in the plants. Given that exposure to UV-C for short periods of time increases the antioxidant content, improving the appearance and shelf-life of products,...

UV radiation use is currently receiving attention due to concerns about its potential positive or negative effects on the physiological responses of plants, so goal this study was evaluate influence natural and artificial ultraviolet (UV-B UV-C) soybean seed germination. Initially, seeds were exposed for different periods time (0, 1, 2, 4, 8 hours), with a intensity 2.5 W m-2. They sown germite...

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness ultraviolet light (UV-C) emitting diodes for decontamination stainless steel food contact surfaces. Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19115), Escherichia coli 25922), and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium 700720) were chosen as challenge microorganisms. Target microorganisms subjected UV-C dosages 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 mJ cm −2 at a...

Tissue slices of zucchini squash (Cucurbita pepo L., cv. Tigress) fruit were exposed to ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation from germicidal lamps for 1, 10 or 20 min; however, only 10 and 20 min UV-C exposure significantly reduced microbial activity and deterioration during subsequent storage at 5 or 10 degrees C. UV-C treated slices had higher respiration rates than controls; however, the ethylene ...

background & aim: effects of ultra violet spectrum on plants due to their obligatory requirement for sunlight for survival are unavoidable. direct effects of uv on plant growth and development are generally negative and usually they use many different defense mechanisms to acclimate and protect themselves. material & methods: the present research for the first time was conducted to inv...
