Plants That are Phototoxic to Humans. Plants may release chemicals of their own as defense. These chemicals can harm humans. Usually, the phototoxicity symptoms will be topical. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge regarding phototoxic terrestrial plants and their phototoxic and photosensitizing metabolites. photosensitization. phototoxicity. plant‐herbivore interactions. ASJC Scopus subject areas. Physiology. Among the main herbs or plants that can potentially cause phototoxicity we have the following Phototoxicity of the plant extracts received very little attention and is still poorly understood. In general the values of t50, "a" and "b" should depend on the effect of temperature and... The use of plants such as giant hogweed as raw materials for the manufacture of dosage forms has been little explored.

Kummerová M, Váňová L. Chlorophyll fluorescence as an indicator of fluoranthene phototoxicity. Plant Soil Environ. 2007;53(10):430-436. doi: 10.17221/2197-PSE. In addition, phototoxicity developing with furanocoumarins occurs as a result of exposure to sunlight, following contact with the plant. Phototoxicity results in acute dermatitis, sometimes... Photobiology is a large area of research that encompasses investigations into the nature of how organisms see (vision), how light can be harmful (as inplantphototoxicity), and how... However, programmed cell death and related processes are not as generally recognized as central to plant growth. This is changing fast and is becoming more of a focus of intensive research. Photoinhibition is the inhibition of photosynthesis by excessive light resulting in the reduction of plant growth. Exposure to additional stress factors du.
