Pea plants were more susceptible to long-wave UV-B irradiation (305 - 320 nm, 7.7 kJ m-2 d-1, 4 weeks) in comparison with the triticale. This difference was more apparent from the changes in total area of leaves and dry mass of shoots, rather than from the parameters of chlorophyll fluorescence and net photosynthetic rate.

Keywords: chlorophyll fluorescence; CO2 assimilation rate; net photosynthetic rate; Pisum sativum; Triticosecale
Subjects: chlorophyll fluorescence, long-wave UV-B; fluorescence, chlorophyll, long-wave UV-B; pea, long-wave UV-B; photosynthetic rate, long-wave UV-B; Pisum sativum; triticale, long-wave UV-B; Triticosecale
