Description
The process of carbon metabolism has been shown to be sensitive to UV-B radiation and, as such was investigated. The UV-B radiation treatment intensive study included wavelengths within the active UV-B radiation waveband (280-315 nm). Photosynthesis rates were shown to be inhibited at a low photosynthetically-active radiation level. Chloroplasl damage appeared to accumulate with duration of dose. (AJ)
