Alteration in the photosynthetic apparatus of clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetraganoloba) cotyledons owing to UV-B irradiation in the absence or presence of UV-A radiation (UV-A + UV-B) during steady phase of its growth has been studied. UV-B radiation induces a decline in the photosynthetic pigments content and O2 evolution along with a modification in the absorption spectra of chloroplasts. UV-A + UV-B irradiation moderately reverses these changes. The partial restoration of FV/FM value and other fluorescence transient parameters in UV-A + UV-B treated sample compared to that of UV-B treated one suggest that UV-A helps in developing a protective pathway against UV-B-induced impairment. UV-B-mediated alteration in S state transition of Mn cluster associated with oxygen evolving complex, as appeared from TL glow curves, is retrieved by UV-A radiation and Car is considered to negotiate against UV-B-induced damage of photosynthetic apparatus.
