The Multifaceted Responses of Plants to Visible and Ultraviolet Radiation.

This document is a summary of a special issue of the journal Plants, which focuses on the responses of plants to visible and ultraviolet radiation. The twelve manuscripts included in the special issue cover various aspects of how different wavelengths of light, particularly UV wavelengths, can affect plant organisms. The studies explore topics such as the impact of UV-B radiation on fruit metabolism, the effects of UV-B on pollen viability, the hormonal regulation in different varieties of quinoa exposed to UV-B, and the modulation of bioactive compounds in plants using different light conditions. The findings of these studies have implications for agriculture, the food industry, and human health. [Extracted from the article]
