Photoprotection in plants

How do plants survive under intense UV radiation? In this video, we explore the fascinating ways plants detect and protect themselves from harmful UV-B rays using molecular photoreceptors like UVR8 and protective compounds like flavonoids. These natural defense mechanisms not only help plants thrive but also inspire innovative biomimetic materials for UV protection.
