The effects of enhanced UV-B radiation on hormone changes in vegetative and reproductive tissues of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and their relationships with reproductive characteristics were studied. Two cultivars, TongHui (TH) and XiaGuang (XG), were grown in the field for one growing season under ambient (Control), ambient plus 2.54 kJ m(-2) d(-1) (T1) or ambient plus 4.25 kJ m(-2) d(-1) (T2) of supplemental ultraviolet-B (280-320 nm). The number of open flowers increased significantly in the TH cultivar under T2 while it declined in the XG cultivar under T1. Although pollen germination from both cultivars was inhibited by UV-B treatment, fruit number was enhanced in the TH cultivar at both UV-B doses and in the XG cultivar at the low dose. On the other hand, seed size (dry weight) was reduced in the XG cultivar by both UV-B doses and in the TH cultivar at the low UV-B dose. The final germination rates of seeds from control and UV-B treated plants of both cultivars showed no significant differences (p > 0.05), while germination was delayed in the TH cultivar at both doses of UV-B and in the XG cultivar only for T2. To determine the mechanism of UV-B's effects on developmental processes, hormone concentrations in leaves, pistils and seeds were analyzed using ELISA on partially purified extracts. The results suggested that enhanced UV-B radiation induced hormone changes in both vegetative and reproductive tissues. The alteration of flower number may be associated with the changes of ZR in leaves under enhanced UV-B radiation and the delayed germination may due to the changes in seed ABA and GAs.
