Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are vital for human health and constitute the skeletal
framework of many pharmaceutical drugs. Indeed, more than 25% of the existing drugs …

Light plays an important role in plants' growth and development throughout their life cycle.
Plants alter their morphological features in response to light cues of varying intensity and …

The protective role of melatonin in plants against various abiotic stresses have been widely
demonstrated, but poorly explored in organ-specific responses and the transmission of …

Plant secondary compounds (PSCs), also called secondary metabolites, have high chemical
