摘要

Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the effects of ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR) on Gracilaria lemaneiformis

a commercial red macroalga and an important source of agar. To study the in-vitro effect of UVBR on G. lemaneiformis

this plant was cultivated and exposed to photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) at 40 μmol photons/(m2 ·s) and enhanced UVBR (0

0.36

0.72

1.08

1.44

and 1.80 kJ/(m2 ·d)) for 13 days. The samples were processed for histochemical analysis

and the growth rate

photosynthetic pigment contents

photosynthetic performance

reactive oxygen species levels

membrane permeability

malonyl dialdehyde contents and antioxidant capacity of G. lemaneiformis were investigated. After 13 days of exposure to PAR+UVBR

G. lemaneiformis showed photodamage and photoinhibition of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a and phycoerythrin)

leading to a decreased photosynthetic efficiency. Further

there was a corresponding decrease in the relative growth rates and depigmentation and partial necrosis of the apical segments were noted after exposure to PAR+UVBR. Additionally

UVBR induced excess production of superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide

eliciting a marked cellular membrane damage and antioxidative response.
