Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. (cowpea), Glycine max (L.) Merr (soybean) and Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) (common bean) plants were exposed to UV-B radiation at above- and below-ambient levels, and their effects on growth, symbiotic performance and root concentration of metabolites were assessed. Moderately and highly elevated UV-B exposures averaging 32 and 62% above ambient had no effect on plant total dry matter, nodule number, nodule mass, nodule size, N fixed or root concentration of flavonoids, anthocyanins, soluble sugars and starch in the three species studied. However, N concentrations were markedly reduced in roots of G. max and P. vulgaris, and in leaves of P. vulgaris, which contrasted with the significant increase in stems and leaves of V. unguiculata. Below-ambient UV-B exposures averaging 22% of ambient also altered growth and metabolism of these legumes. Total plant dry matter, nodule number, nodule dry mass, N fixed and root starch concentrations in V. unguiculata decreased relative to both visible and UV-A radiation controls, whereas in G. max and P. vulgaris, these parameters were not altered. Root concentrations of flavonoids and anthocyanins in all species tested were also unchanged with below-ambient UV-B exposures. Taken together, growth and symbiotic function of these species remained unaltered with exposure to above- ambient UV-B, but differed in their response to below-ambient UV-B radiation.
