Effects of UV-B Enhanced Solar Radiation on Trigonella foenum-graecum

Thepotential impacts of an increase in solar UV-B radiation reaching the Earth's surface have been investigated by numerous research groups during the past decades. Much of this research has focused on the effects of plant growth and physiology under artificial UV-B irradiation supplied to plants in growth chambers or greenhouse. UV –B radiation has been shown to cause alterations in physiological and biochemical processes as well as in plant morphology. Trigonella foenumgraecum is the medicinal plant has got greater medicinal values and used as traditional medicine. Plants exposed to UV radiation commonly respond to morphological, physiological and biochemical alterations. In this study, the sensitivity and resistance of Trigonella foenumgraecum towards UV-B radiation has been studied.
