Abstract:
The changes in climate as a result of growing imbalance between atmospheric carbon emission and absorption, depletion of ozone in stratosphere, increase in the earth's temperature, etc. are affecting physiological, biochemical and molecular processes of green plants. Research is essential to anticipate the potential impact of these factors on photosynthesis and productivity to provide food security to large population. The impact of UV-B radiation on plants, with reference to damage and protection to photosynthesis and related processes is discussed in this review.
