Popis: The impacts of solar UV (280-400 nm) radiation on photosynthetic activities and polypeptide composition of thylakoids of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L, UV-B sensitive) and black gram (Vigna mungo L., UV-B resistant) plants were compared. The activity of photosystem 1 and especially photosystem 2 increased in cluster bean while decreased in black gram, when either UV-B or UV-B + UV-A radiation was removed as compared to control plants. Exclusion of UV-B radiation caused changes in the protein composition of the thylakoids particularly in the 33, 23 and 17 kDa proteins of photosystem 2.
