One challenge is the complexity of the molecular mechanisms underlying UV-C perception and signalling. Another challenge is the lack of knowledge on the specific photoreceptors and signalling pathways involved in UV-C perception. The paper also notes that the benefits of UV-C are highly dependent on the distance from the light source, the plant species or cultivar, and the duration of dark incubation following treatment.

The need to understand how different light conditions affect plant responses, including photomorphogenesis, photoperiodism, and shade avoidance. The lack of a comprehensive review of the recent advances in the role of light signaling in plant growth, development, and metabolism under normal and stressful conditions. The need to explore the impact of light on flowering, reprogramming of metabolic signatures, and perception of stress.
