Drought stress imposes a serious threat to crop productivity and nutritional security. Drought
adaptation mechanisms involve complex regulatory network comprising of various sensory …

Phytomelatonin, a multifunctional molecule that has been found to be present in all plants
examined to date, has an important role in plants as a modulatory agent (a biostimulator) …

Background The use of organic nanoparticles to improve drought resistance and water
demand characteristics in plants seems to be a promising eco-friendly strategy for water …

Biostimulants (BSs) are probably one of the most promising alternatives nowadays to cope
with yield losses caused by plant stress, which are intensified by climate change …

Cold stress is one of the most limiting factors for plant growth and development. Cold stress
adversely affects plant physiology, molecular and biochemical processes by determining …

Melatonin is a natural hormone from the pineal gland that regulates the sleep-wake cycle.
We examined the structure and physico-chemical properties of melatonin using electronic …

Rice is the third largest food crop in the world, especially in Asia. Its production in various
regions is affected to different degrees by drought stress. Melatonin (MT), a novel growth …

Melatonin has recently emerged as a multifunctional biomolecule with promising aspects in
plant stress tolerance. The present study examined the effects of foliar‐sprayed melatonin …

Pot experiments were performed to study the effects of abscisic acid (ABA) and melatonin
(MT) on cotton drought tolerance and to explore their combined effects. ABA or MT spraying …

Key message Melatonin enhanced arsenic (As) tolerance by inhibiting As bioaccumulation,
modulating the expression of As transporters and phytohormone homeostasis, leading to …
