Cabi Uv-B Radiation And Plant Life: Molecular Biology To Ecology by Brian R. Jordan
Ultraviolet-B Radiation (Uv-B) Has Profound Effects On Plant Growth And Development And Exposure Varies With Ozone Depletion And Across Geographic Regions With Ecosystem And Agricultural Consequences. This Book Deals With Large-Scale Impacts But Also How Uv-B Affects Plants At The Molecular Level Is Also Fascinating And The Uv-B Photoreceptor Has Only Recently Been Characterised. While Uv-B Radiation Can Be Damaging It Also Has A More Positive Role In Plant Photomorphogenesis. Consequently Uv-B Treatments Are Being Developed As Innovative Approaches To Improve Horticulture. This Book Is A Timely Synthesis Of What We Know And Need To Know About Uv-B Radiation And Plants.Show More
