UV-B exposure enhances senescence of wheat leaves: modulation by photosynthetically active radiation

Abstract: The alterations in structure and function of photosystem II (PS II) during the senescence of primary leaves of wheat seedlings have been compared with the changes induced by ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation in the presence or absence of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). The results indicated that the senescence-induced loss in pigment content, thylakoid membrane integrity and carotenoid-to-chlorophyll (Car-to-Chl) energy transfer efficiency was intensified by exposure to UV-B radiation. Different parame… Show more

“…The response of leaves to UV-B exposure in combination with photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is different from the response to UV-B exposure in the absence of PAR, demonstrating the PAR-mediated alleviation of UV-B induced damage (Adamse and Britz 1992, Kolb et al 2001, Bergo et al 2003, Pradhan et al 2006. Similar protective role of low irradiance by "white light" against UV-B induced impairment in photosynthetic apparatus of cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis was also found (Rajagopal et al 2005).…”

“…Sonalika) seedlings were grown in Petri plates on cotton soaked with distilled water under fluorescent "white light" of 200 μmol m -2 s -1 at 25±2 °C following the method of Joshi et al (1993) for a period of 15 d. One set of seedlings were exposed to UV-B radiation (PPFD 60 μmol m -2 s -1 obtained from a Philips TL 20 type 05 in the spectral range 280-320 nm and with a peak at 315 nm; without UV-A and UV-C components) in the absence of PAR (UV-B) while another set of seedlings were exposed to UV-B radiation in combination with PAR (UV-B+PAR) for 1 h daily from d 1 until d 15 as per Pradhan et al (2006). The primary leaves of these seedlings were used for various measurements.…”

“…Because of the low activity of SOD, POD and CAT in wheat, poisonous free radical production would not be eliminated quickly. As a result, they could not prevent lipid peroxidation production [10]. Our results suggest that enhanced expression of SOD, POD and CAT evolving complex protein and aldolases are some of the protective responses of wheat to He-Ne lasers.…”

“…Contradictory results reported in the literature can be explained by the fact that plant responses to UV-B radiation depend on a number of parameters, including the developmental stage of tissue, the plant species, and growth conditions. Moreover, plant responses to UV-B radiation are dependent on the UV-B level of exposure and the ratio of PAR to UV-B under experimental conditions (Pradhan et al, 2006). In passion fruit plants, the reduction in the CO 2 assimilation rates due to UV-B exposure were accompanied by a significant inhibition in shoot dry matter accumulation, from 2.47 g in control to 1.77 g in the stressed plants (Figure 4).…”
