“…However, due to particular genotype‐specific responses, the effects of UVB radiation on wheat are still under discussion (Kakani et al., ; Kataria & Guruprasad, 2012a). Further, the majority of studies considered the effect of enhanced UVB radiation with lamp supplementation (Calderini et al., ; Li, Lilian, & Yanqun, ; Li et al., 2000a; Lizana et al., ; Yao, Chu, He, & Si, ; Zu, Li, Chen, & Chen, ), thus providing unnatural spectral radiation balance that can lead to unrealistic conclusions. On the contrary, only a few studies have been conducted for determining the effects of ambient UV (280–400 nm) radiation on wheat responses in terms of growth and yield by the exclusion of solar UV components (Flint & Caldwell, ; Kataria & Guruprasad, 2012a; Pal, Zaidi, Voleti, & Raj, ).…”
