摘要

The dynamics of stratospheric ozone and climate change are not independent of each other, and can influence Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation coming on the Earth’s surface. Further, this interaction is likely to become more intricate in the upcoming years. Thus, how plants respond to increased UV-B exposure has become an important area of research. In the present study, data was extracted from SCOPUS database to collect publications from the year 2000 to 2024 using VOS viewer. To obtain better accuracy in the results, the search keyword UV-B and PLANTS was employed, and consequently 3265 publications were acquired and bibliometric analysis was performed. The results indicated that a steady increase in publications was noticed since 2010 (114 papers) and then 2020 (187 papers). Furthermore, the leading journals with respect to UV-B and plants are Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B Biology, Frontiers in Plant Science, and Plant Physiology and Biochemistry. Based on the most cited papers and references the main area of research was focussed on enhancing UV-B tolerance mechanism in plants using new approaches such as transcriptomics, metabolomics, and genome-wide dissection studies. The most frequently occurred keyword UV-B exhibits a strong association with the terms ‘flavonoids’, ‘photosynthesis’, ‘growth’, and ‘metabolism’ of plants. However, scientists are observing shifts in climate patterns that influence responses of terrestrial ecosystem under UV-B radiation. This presents a challenge in developing more holistic approaches to assess the impact of UV-B radiation in the context of rapidly evolving environmental changes and human influences. Bibliometric analysis serves as one such integrated approach, effectively identifying key focus areas and emerging trends in global research within this field. As a result, areas such as climate change, abiotic stress, ozone depletion can be an area of potential research in future. Additionally, it has also been anticipated that the number of publications with respect to UV-B and plants will increase significantly worldwide.
