Review highlights UV light's impact on plant growth, quality, and resistance to stress.

This review aims to explore how ultraviolet light impacts plant physiological responses and agricultural quality.
Discussion of UV types and their effects on plant growth and quality.
Analysis of the role of photoreceptors like UVR8 in UV-mediated stress response.
Examination of interactions between UV exposure and plant architecture.
Low doses of UV light may enhance biomass accumulation and beneficial compound synthesis.
UV exposure can improve plant architecture, particularly in ornamental crops.
UV-induced abiotic stress increases plants' resistance to insects and pathogens, enhancing postharvest quality.
