Ultraviolet-B Radiation Causes Tendril Coiling in Pisum sativum

Low dose UV-B radiation (UV-BBE,300 = 0.1 W m2), but neither UV-A radiation, ozone and NaCl stress, nor wounding, caused tendril coiling in Pisum sativum. This coiling occurred with both attached and detached tendrils and can be used as a specific UV-B stress marker in pea.
