Adaptive Mechanisms of Photosynthetic Apparatus to UV Radiation

  • Chapter
Stress Responses in Plants

Abstract

Adaptive mechanisms of higher plant photosynthetic apparatus to UV radiation are discussed in the review. Particular attention is paid to the various mechanisms that protect photosynthetic machinery from damage injury and the role of reactive oxygen species, phenolic compounds, and phytochrome system. The effects of the increased content of active form of phytochrome B and its content on photosynthetic activity and adaptation to stress are examined. A relation between the action of UV radiation on photosynthetic activity and the state of phytochromes and pro-/antioxidant balance is considered.
