Field crop responses to ultraviolet-B radiation: a review (2003, background): “%) on exposure to UV-B (Smith et al., 2000; Strid and Porra, 1992; Vu et al., 1981).”
Plant physiological responses to UV-B radiation - (2012, background): “Smith et al. (2000) established that mean contents of UV-B absorbing compounds did not differ significantly between the tolerant and sensitive groups, not did an ability to increase the content of UV-B screening pigments in response to UV-B necessarily reduce sensitivity.”
Growth and physiological responses of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to elevated carbon dioxide and ultraviolet‐B radiation under controlled environmental conditions (2003, background): “Based on the findings of Smith et al. (2000) and our results, we speculate that the sensitivity of cotton to UV-B radiation may change with growth stages and be most sensitive to high UV-B radiation during squaring and early flowering when plants are growing rapidly.”
