“…Moreover, the effect of UV-B on pathogen resistance was found to be mediated by UVR8 (Demkura and Ballare 2012). A role for UVR8 remains to be established in a number of other UV-B responses in Arabidopsis, including stomata regulation (Eisinger et al 2003), phototropism (Eisinger et al 2003, Shinkle et al 2004, dynamics of phytohormones under UV-B (Savenstrand et al 2004, Hectors et al 2012, vitamin B6 biosynthesis (Brosche et al 2002, Ristilä et al 2011, Morales et al 2013) and alterations in secondary metabolism (Jansen et al 2008, Kusano et al 2011. A number of further UVR8-mediated responses can be deduced from UV-B-induced and UVR8-dependent gene expression changes (Brosche et al 2002, Ulm et al 2004, Brown et al 2005, Oravecz et al 2006, Hectors et al 2007, Zhou et al 2007, Favory et al 2009, Morales et al 2013) but these remain to be validated.…”
