In the growth condition (s) of plants, numerous secondary metabolites (SMs) are produced
by them to serve variety of cellular functions essential for physiological processes, and …

Plant secondary metabolites are unique sources for pharmaceuticals, food additives, flavors,
and industrially important biochemicals. Accumulation of such metabolites often occurs in …

The number of studies on melatonin in plants has increased significantly in recent years.
This molecule, with a large set of functions in animals, has also shown great potential in …

Plants need to counter continuous threats posed by the environment, such as pathogen
attacks (fungi, viruses, insects, nematodes) and harsh physical conditions (drought, salinity …

In recent years melatonin has emerged as a research highlight in plant studies. Melatonin
has different functions in many aspects of plant growth and development. The most …

Melatonin regulates the growth of roots, shoots, and explants, to activate seed germination
and rhizogenesis and to delay induced leaf senescence. The antioxidant properties of …

Although previous studies have found that melatonin can promote seed germination, the
mechanisms involved in perceiving and signaling melatonin remain poorly understood. In …

A comprehensive investigation was carried out to determine the changes that occurred in
water‐stressed cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) in response to melatonin treatment. We …

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine), a well-known animal hormone, is also
involved in plant development and abiotic stress responses. In this study, it is shown that …

The presence of melatonin in plants is universal. Evidence has confirmed that a major
portion of the melatonin is synthesized by plants themselves even though a homologue of …
