Differential physiological and biochemical responses of two Vigna species under enhanced UV-B radiation
Differential physiological and biochemical responses of two Vigna spp. i.e. Vigna mungo (L.) and Vigna acontifolia (Jacq.) seedlings exposed to enhanced ultraviolet-B (ambient+supplemental, 280–320 nm) radiation were studied. UV-B radiation accelerated the generation of ROS i.e. superoxide radical (...
