Description
The role of antioxidant enzyme activities in Crotalaria juncea under control without UV-B treatment and ultraviolet-B supplemental radiation (UV-B) was investigated. UV-B treatment for 6 h for 4 days resulted in severe inhibition of catalase activity. On the other hand, the activities of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, superoxide dismutase and phenylalanine ammonia lyase increased after the UV-B treatment. These increases could be an adaptive mechanism to minimise the effects of UV-B radiation.
