Abstract

In clusterbean leaves UV-B radiation caused a reduction in contents of chlorophylls and carotenoids and in the efficiency of photosystem 2 photochemistry. The degree of damage was reduced when UV-A accompanied the UV-B radiation. This indicates the counteracting effect of UV-A radiation against UV-B-induced impairment.
