Hormetic UV-C seed treatments for the control of tomato diseases (2019)
Journal Article
Scott, G., Almasrahi, A., Malekpoor Mansoorkhani, F., Rupar, M., Dickinson, M., & Shama, G. (2019). Hormetic UV-C seed treatments for the control of tomato diseases. Plant Pathology, 68(4), 700-707. https://doi.org/10.1111/ppa.12987

© 2019 British Society for Plant Pathology Hormesis is a dose response phenomenon in which low, non-damaging doses of a stressor bring about a positive response in the organism undergoing treatment. Evidence is provided here that hormetic UV-C treatm... Read More about Hormetic UV-C seed treatments for the control of tomato diseases.

A comparison of the molecular mechanisms underpinning high-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light and low-intensity UV-C hormesis in tomato fruit (2017)
Journal Article
Scott, G., Dickinson, M., Shama, G., & Rupar, M. (2018). A comparison of the molecular mechanisms underpinning high-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light and low-intensity UV-C hormesis in tomato fruit. Postharvest Biology and Technology, 137, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.postharvbio.2017.10.017

Postharvest treatment of tomato fruit with high-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light (HIPPL) has previously been shown to induce delayed ripening and disease resistance comparable to that of low-intensity UV-C (LIUV). Little, however, is known of th... Read More about A comparison of the molecular mechanisms underpinning high-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light and low-intensity UV-C hormesis in tomato fruit.

A comparison of low intensity UV-C and high intensity pulsed polychromatic sources as elicitors of hormesis in tomato fruit (2016)
Journal Article
Scott, G., Rupar, M., Fletcher, A., Dickinson, M., & Shama, G. (2017). A comparison of low intensity UV-C and high intensity pulsed polychromatic sources as elicitors of hormesis in tomato fruit. Postharvest Biology and Technology, 125, 52-58. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.postharvbio.2016.10.012

Post-harvest hormetic treatment of mature green tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Mecano) with high intensity pulsed polychromatic light (HIPPL) significantly delayed ripening to levels comparable to those achieved using a conventional low inten...
