TY - JOUR AU - Casati, Paula AU - Walbot, Virginia PY - 2004 DA - 2004/03/01 TI - Rapid transcriptome responses of maize (Zea mays) to UV-B in irradiated and shielded tissues JO - Genome Biology SP - R16 VL - 5 IS - 3 AB - Depletion of stratospheric ozone has raised terrestrial levels of ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B), an environmental change linked to an increased risk of skin cancer and with potentially deleterious consequences for plants. To better understand the processes of UV-B acclimation that result in altered plant morphology and physiology, we investigated gene expression in different organs of maize at several UV-B fluence rates and exposure times.
