UV-B radiation regulates numerous morphogenic, biochemical and physiological responses in plants, and can stimulate some responses typically associated with other abiotic and biotic stimuli, including invertebrate herbivory. Removal of UV-B from the growing environment of various plant species ha...
Plants integrate light signals to regulate development and produce protective compounds such as flavonoids under excessive light stress. While these metabolites protect against light damage, their roles in modulating photoreceptor responses remain unclear. Here we show that naringenin chalcone (N...
Penicillium italicum (P. italicum) is a primary pathogen responsible for postharvest decay in citrus fruits, resulting in substantial economic losses. Chitosan and titanium dioxide and silver (CTS&TiO2&Ag) composite film solutions activated by combined UV and LED light represent innovativ...
