Article Abstract
Introduction: is a folk and rare medicinal plant, and specifically, it is distributed in the south, China. To investigate the cumulative properties of its medicinal components, we examined the effect of UV light on flavonoid content and related enzyme activity changes in .
Methods: The leaves and tubers were treated with UV-A, UV-B and UV-C for 1 h, 1L/23D h, 3 h and 3L/21D h (D represents darkness treatment). High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that the content of many flavonoids decreased significantly during UV-A treatment, increased after UV-B and UV-C irradiation and accumulated again after darkness treatment.
Results: In the root tubers of the UV-A group, naringin content in the 3L/21D h group (0.069 μg/g) was 16.30 times higher than that of 3 h group (0.0042 μg/g). The rutin content was elevated after UV irradiation but was not detected in the CK group. The test results of the enzyme-linked kit indicated that the activities of many enzymes were higher in the UV-A and UV-B irradiation groups than those in the CK group, but the results were reversed in the UV-C treatment. After darkness treatment, the activities of most enzymes were higher than those with UV irradiation alone; F3'5'H activity in the 3L/21D h group (97.25 U/L) was 1.24 times higher than that in the 3 h group (78.12 U/L) in the UV-A-treated group.
Discussion: The study results suggest that appropriate UV-B and UV-C irradiation, as well as darkness supplementation, had a promotive effect on flavonoids in the leaves and root tubers of . Additionally, UV irradiation and darkness treatment enhanced the activity of most enzymes.

Article Synopsis
- DNA is constantly damaged by internal and external factors, making efficient repair crucial to prevent mutations and maintain genomic integrity.
- There exists a tension between maintaining genome stability and allowing rearrangements that contribute to genetic diversity and evolution.
- Research on Arabidopsis thaliana showed that heterochromatin regions are more likely to have structural variations when exposed to specific radiation types, with findings indicating a complex interplay between DNA damage response mechanisms.

Indoor farming systems enable plant production in precisely controlled environments. However, implementing stable growth conditions and the absence of stress stimulants can weaken plants' defense responses and limit the accumulation of bioactive, health-beneficial phytochemicals. A potential solution is the controlled application of stressors, such as supplemental ultraviolet (UV) light.

Significance: High-energy visible (HEV) light-filtering spectacle lenses are being widely promoted despite limited evidence to support their use. The spectral transmission properties of commercially available lenses varied, particularly in the HEV light region, and they do not perform in the same way for transmission of ultraviolet (UV)-A and HEV light.
Purpose: Although HEV light is important for several visual and nonvisual functions, there are concerns over the potential adverse effects of increased HEV light exposure.

Ultraviolet radiation is a non-ionizing radiation produced by longer wavelength energy sources with lower frequency and is categorized into UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C. Minimal exposure to this radiation has several health benefits, which include treating microbial contaminations and skin therapies. However, the antimicrobial action of low-dose UV-A during pathogenic bacterial infections is still unrevealed.
