Effects of UV-B on the growth of Vigna radiata (綠豆), Vigna angularis (紅豆)and Glycine max (大豆) ST. PAUL’S CO-EDUCATIONAL COLLEGE CHUI HO YIN PAUL CHAN YUN YIN CYRUS LEE WAI LAM BRYAN
WHY!?!?! Hey! Dear, I have a fabulous yield this year!!! Dad! We may get a poor yield next ten years!!!

Observations and facts Ozone concentrationdecreases • Higher amount of ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation reaching the earth • cause harmful effects to the biosphere
Literature ReviewThe effect of UVB on plants Negative impacts of UVBon Glycine max: • Decrease the areas and the number of leaves • Decrease height of the stems • Decrease the photosynthetic rates and the evaporation rate • Delay the growth process
Problem?? Will the yield of the crops be reduced???
Objectives • To find out the effect of UVB radiation on 3 types of plants (Vigna radiata 綠豆, Vigna angularis 紅豆andGlycine max 大豆) • To find out which of these three plants has stronger resistance to the damaging effect of UVB radiation
Hypothesis Under extra UVB: The growth processes would be delayed Fewer leaves would be developed Shorter stems would be developed
Methodology Set-up 1B Vigna angularis Set-up 2B Vigna angularis Set-up 2C Glycine max Set-up 1C Glycine max Set-up 1A Vigna radiata Set-up 2A Vigna radiata
Illumination treatment Setup 1 7:00 18:00 Sunlight Setup 2 Sunlight Sunlight 7:00 13:00 16:00 18:00 Sunlight + UV (300nm-400nm)
Result Setup 1B Setup 1C Setup 1A
Setup 2B Setup 2C Setup 2A
Colour of leaves • Without extra UVB (Set-up 1): • green • With extra UVB (Set-up 2): • green → yellow → brown →black (died)
CONCLUSION 1 • Under extra UVB: • Delayed germination • Delayed foliation • Fewer leaves developed • Shorter stems developed • Colour of the leaves changed from green to black
Analysis • Set-up 2 • Green → Yellow → Brown →Black • Maybe UVB blocks some nutrients from being absorbed by plants • Slow down chlorophyll formation • Cause the deficiency and poor growth
Further investigation • Measure the amounts of photodimer and photolyase before and after UVB illumination • Investigate the relationship between the UVB dosage and the amounts of photodimer formed • Investigate the effect of UVB on the photosynthetic rate of plants

Both Glycine max (大豆) & Vigna angularis(紅豆) had shown small difference

Vigna radiata (綠豆)in the set-up with UVB died latest among three set-ups.
The growth of Vigna radiata(綠豆)is least affected under extra UVB condition among the three plants Vigna radiata (綠豆)hasthe best resistance to UVB among the three plants (Vigna radiata, Vigna angularisandGlycine max)studied CONCLUSION 2
Investigate the effect of UVB dosage on the growth of Vigna radiata (綠豆) Investigate whether Vigna radiata(綠豆)from different climatic regions show different resistance to UVB Further investigation
In order to have a good harvest, is it more beneficial for me to grow Vigna radiata? I think…
THANK YOU!!! Please protect our earth!!!!
