Impact of supplemental UV-B (sUV-B) has been investigated on photosynthetic pigments, antioxidative enzymes, metabolites, and protein profiling of radish plants under realistic field conditions. Exposure of sUV-B leads to oxidative damage in plants. However, plants possess a number of UV-protection mechanisms including a stimulation of antioxidant defense system. It caused alteration in reactive oxygen species metabolism primarily by decreasing catalase activity vis-à-vis enhanced activities of other enzymatic (superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase) and non-enzymatic (ascorbic acid) antioxidants. Qualitative analysis of samples also showed significant reductions in photosynthetic pigments and protein content. After sUV-B exposure, protein profile showed differences mainly at eight points—126.8, 84.8, 71.9, 61.5, 47.8, 40.6, 38.9, and 17.5 kDa, whereas protein(s) of 38.9 kDa showed increment. Results of the present investigation clearly showed the adverse effect of sUV-B on total biomass at final harvest.
