Abstract:
... The photosynthetic responses of clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetraganoloba) cotyledons exposed to UV-A, UV-B or UV-A + UV-B radiation for 1 h daily until day 10 have been compared. The loss in the rate of O-2 evolution and CO2 assimilation (P (n)) are incommensurate with each other in both UV-A and UV-B exposed samples indicating the occurrence of loss in photostasis of photosynthesis by these two radia ...
