  1. The numbers correspond to the log2 ratios. Experiments were done at least in triplicate. Adult leaves were exposed under UV-B lamps for 2, 4, 6 and 8 h at 0.36 W/m2, and samples were either collected immediately after the UV-B treatment (1) or after a period without UV-B to complete an 8-h treatment (2).
