Resumen:
UV-B radiation is a part of the sunlight, and plants sessile lifestyle involves continuous exposition to this radiation. Depending on its dose, UV-B could be harmful, but also a photomorphogenic signal. In this chapter we summarize the knowledge about UV-B direct and indirect effects in plants, as well as the main responses of plants to UV-B. We also describe the role of nitric oxide (NO) in these processes and the co-regulation of NO together to the UV RESISTANCE LOCUS-8 (UVR8) pathway, of the UV-B-induced gene expression. Finally, we raise open questions that have no answers yet, and are at the heart of the issue to understand the plant signalling pathways modulated by NO under UV-B radiation.
