Sunburn in plants

Sunburn occurs when there is a burn to living tissue produced by the overexposure of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Various plant species and parts of plants can be susceptible to sunburn.

Grapes are sometimes sun-dried into raisins. If this process is done incorrectly, the grapes may become sunburned.

The trunks of some kinds of trees can also sunburn.
