- Intervention effect UV-B irradiation reduced area of unfolded true leaves.
- Intervention effect UV-B reduced epidermal cell area in each true leaf.
- Intervention effect UV-B reduced total epidermal cell number in each true leaf.
- Intervention effect UV-B reduced expression of five cell cycle genes in the shoot apical meristem within 48 hours.
- Mechanism Authors infer that continuous UV-B inhibits the cell cycle in the shoot apical meristem.
- Intervention effect UV-B increased the number of unfolded true leaves after 15–25 days.
- Observation Sixty percent of cucumber plants produced male flower buds after 25 days of UV-B.
