water deficit, ultraviolet radiation and carbon dioxide enrichment are the most important environmental factors in global climate change. this research was conducted in tarbiat modares university, research greenhouse and the objective of that was to study the effects of three levels of carbon dioxide (500, 900 and 1300 ppm), uv-radiation (uv-a, b and c with intensity of 18, 25 and 40 µw.cm2 res...

In this study, morphological and physiological effects of the stress with the UV-C rays on the industrial Atlanta type beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. Cv, Atlanta) were analyzed. The plants were raised in an automated green house with the ecological conditions. The plants were grown in the green house with UV-C lamb (250) for 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 days. After which their root lengths and seeding hei...

UV light provoked stress can evoke antioxidant defence system and consequently induces the synthesis of several phytochemical compounds. Th e aim of the present study was to investigate the infl uence of UV-B light irradiation on surface colour and synthesis of some bioactive compounds in apples skin of cultivars ‘Elstar’ and ‘Jonagold’. Half of each apple was shaded with aluminium foil to comp...

UV-B photon reception by the Arabidopsis thaliana homodimeric UV RESISTANCE LOCUS8 (UVR8) photoreceptor leads to its monomerization and a crucial interaction with CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC1 (COP1). Relay of the subsequent signal regulates UV-B-induced photomorphogenesis and stress acclimation. Here, we report that two separate domains of UVR8 interact with COP1: the β-propeller domain of ...

All abiotic and biotic stresses induce or involve oxidative stress to some degree, and the plant ability to control oxidant levels is highly correlated with stress tolerance. Polyamines (PAs) have antioxidant properties and their induction in response to stress is well known. Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L., Thellungiella halophila Mey., Plantago major L. and Geum urbanum L. plants were grown ...

The current and projected terrestrial ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation affects growth and reproductive potential of many crops. Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.), mostly grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions may already be experiencing critical doses of UV-B radiation due to a thinner ozone column in those regions. Better understanding of genotypic variability to UV-B radiation is a prer...

The depletion of stratospheric ozone layer has led to the increase in solar ultraviolet (UV-B: 280-320 nm) radiation reaching the Earth’s surface and resulted in reduction of the growth and yield of crop plants. To defend against such adverse effect, plants may have developed some kind of resistance mechanism through differential expression of genes involved in UV stress. To determine the diffe...

Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) and cold limit the growth development of plants, which generates changes in gene expression. This allows plants to respond stress through regulatory proteins, such as transcription factors, that activate or repress expression stress-response genes. RNA-Seq data WGCNA analyses were utilized identify hub Our study found a total 25, 24, 29 factors at different time p...

Plants are photosynthetic organisms that depend on sunlight for energy. Plants respond to light through different photoreceptors and show photomorphogenic development. Apart from Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR; 400-700 nm), plants are exposed to UV light, which is comprised of UV-C (below 280 nm), UV-B (280-320 nm) and UV-A (320-390 nm). The atmospheric ozone layer protects UV-C radi...

Ribosomal protein L10 (RPL10) proteins are ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) has three RPL10 genes encoding RPL10A to RPL10C proteins, while two genes are present in the maize (Zea mays) genome (rpl10-1 and rpl10-2). Maize and Arabidopsis RPL10s are tissue-specific and developmentally regulated, showing high levels of expression in tissues with active cell divi...
