---- Public Summary from Project ----
Increasing UV-radiation over Antarctica each spring may damage DNA in plants. This research determined the susceptibility of Antarctic plants to such damage and investigated the effectiveness of protective and repair mechanisms. This helps predict how plants ... View entire text

FIELD SURVEYS Ancillary Description
Quality DNA damage may not happen because there were problems with the UV-B meter logging and so we don't have data to correlate with UV absorbing pigments.
