The Importance of Flavonoids in Plant Adaptation to UV

The reduction of ultraviolet and ozone layer has been investigated by many researchers today. The effects of ultraviolet radiation on plants that require permanent sunlight are unavoidable, the effect of ultraviolet light on plant growth is usually negative, and plants have a different defense mechanism to protect And their compatibility. Flavonoids are phoshuemic compounds that rapidly increase in response to ultraviolet (uv-B and uv-c), and accumulate large amounts in the epidermis. The present study aims to review the studies carried out in this field. The results of the research indicate that It is that absorbent compounds, such as flavonoids, act as a protective layer against the vu rays.
