Mentha piperata is a well known plant of Lamiaceae. It was exposed to UV-B radiation singly and with various concentrations of ascorbic acid and plant height was recorded. UV-B promoted the height and a further enhancement was recorded when exposure was given simultaneously with 100 ppm concentration of ascorbic acid. However, a fall in plant height was recorded in UV-B + 200 ppm and UV-B + 500 ppm ascorbic acid treatments.
