This study evaluates the possibility that ultra-violet (UV) rays may contribute to plant immunity diseases.
The investigators suspect that UV rays indirectly help the plant to create a resistance to pathogens such as
Hyaloperonospora parasitica. They show that cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts
(6-4PPs) have a very important role in the ability of the plants to develop pathogen resistance. It was
discovered that plants that where exposed to low levels of UVB radiation for 26 days accumulated great
amount of DNA damage. It is also proposed that other types of DNA damage might induce resistance to
pathogens that may be harmful to Arabidopsis thaliana and other types of plants. These researchers have
discarded the possibility of UV rays activating systemic acquired resistance (SAR). They concluded that
DNA that has been damaged by ultra-violet rays activate defense mechanisms that fight against pathogens
harmful to the plants. It is a very interesting fact that something that can be so perilous to humans is actualy
able to help other organisms when exposed to the correct amount.
