Recent reports indicate that the molecular mechanism of UV‐B damage and repair has been studied in detail with genetic tools such as Arabidopsis, including involvement of the MAPK gene protecting against higher doses of UV‐B and targets of UV‐B in plants such as DNA, lipids, and protein. It is essential to understand the effect and repair mechanisms of ambient UV‐B, prior to the evaluation of enhanced UV‐B. The three amino acid residues whose side chains absorb in the UV range are the aromatic residues tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr) and phenylalanine (Phe). Plants have developed some avoiding mechanisms to cope up with UV radiations, as increased epicuticular wax content in high altitude plants, pectin endocytosis, and avoidance by anthocyanin. The final yield or biomass is influenced by various parameters that are affected by UV‐B radiation, including morphological change in floral or reproductive organs, decrease in chlorophyll concentration, photosynthesis, leaf area, and fruit retention.
