Ultraviolet-B radiation causes tendril coiling in Pisum sativum

Plant Cell Physiol. 2000 Sep;41(9):1077-9. doi: 10.1093/pcp/pcd026.

Abstract

Low dose UV-B radiation (UV-B(BE,300) = 0.1 W m(-2)), but neither UV-A radiation, ozone and NaCl stress, nor wounding, caused tendril coiling in Pisum sativum. This coiling occurred with both attached and detached tendrils and can be used as a specific UV-B stress marker in pea.
