Abstract
The influence of UV-B radiation (Philips TL 40/12, UV-BBE = 4 kJ·m-2·d-1) on soybean cv. Augusta plants grown under glasshouse conditions was investigated. The applied irradiation caused decrease in the intensity of net photosynthesis and chlorophyll content as well as height and dry mass of shoots. The irradiated plants exhibited defence response, involving an increased activity of antioxidant enzymes (peroxidase and catalase) and higher content of flavonoids as the protective compounds.
