Abstract excerpt
Stem growth kinetics were measured in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) and Arabidopsis thaliana using highly-sensitive monitoring with 5-minute resolution, in darkness and in response to a short, single pulse of UV-C illumination. The results show that UV-C, like blue light, induces a rapid decrease in seedling growth rate. The fluence-response kinetics and time course were similar to the phototropin1 mediated response...
