Experimental evidence is provided for establishing how plants, through their stationary habit in the open field, survive and flourish by developing suitable UV acclimation strategies through the repair of damaged macromolecules and/or upregulation of screening compounds viz. flavonoids. Presenting an analysis of related literature, it also highlights the importance of outdoor experiments over those in closed chamber under artificial UV light for obtaining realistic data. The book presents a comprehensive account of the stratospheric ozone layer, its formation and seasonal thinning, with particular reference to alarming anthropogenic destruction of the ozone layer since the last quarter of the twentieth century, which has resulted in increased UV fluence on Earth. It discusses variations in the hazardous impact of UV on life at different latitudes through the ages, and examines altitudinal variations in UV effects in case studies demonstrating high antioxidant content and aroma status in Darjeeling tea leaves (at high altitudes) compared with those of the same tea clones in Assam leaves (at low altitudes), with both sites being at the same latitude. It provides evidence which suggests that the UV effects relating to the expression of seed vigour-viability could be epigenetic. Further, it presents recently developed microscopic technologies for demonstrating the penetration of UV into plant cells, and discusses how cellular metabolism can be affected either directly or via signal transduction. Effect of damage in DNA (the key target of UV radiation) has been demonstrated and estimated using precise techniques. The latest ?FOX Hunting? technique as a useful means of transcriptome analysis that may be used for developing UV tolerant plants through Marker Assisted Breeding has also been discussed. Using biochemical and biotechnological methods, the experiments presented highlight the gene X environment based upregulation of specific metabolic pathways, allowing i) value addition in plant-derived food, and ii) paving the way for the industrial manufacture of Alternative Medicine products. The book is enriched by a critical review of the available literature and appropriate case studies selected from the author?s own findings, which span nearly four decades of active research. 606 $aOxidative stress 606 $aRadiation protection 606 $aRadiation?Safety measures 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant anatomy 606 $aPlant development 606 $aOxidative Stress$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16070 606 $aEffects of Radiation/Radiation Protection$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U13003 606 $aPlant Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aPlant Anatomy/Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24019 615 0$aOxidative stress. 615 0$aRadiation protection. 615 0$aRadiation?Safety measures. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aPlant anatomy. 615 0$aPlant development. 615 14$aOxidative Stress. 615 24$aEffects of Radiation/Radiation Protection. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPlant Anatomy/Development. 676 $a571.456 700 $aSen Mandi$b Swati$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063432 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253863303321 996 $aNatural UV Radiation in Enhancing Survival Value and Quality of Plants$92532367 997 $aUNINA
