Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are crucial signaling molecules in plants that play
multifarious roles in prompt response to environmental stimuli. Despite the classical …

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an indole molecule widely found in
animals and plants. It is well known that melatonin improves plant resistance to various …

Seed germination (SG) is the first stage in a plant's life and has an immense importance in
sustaining crop production. Abiotic stresses reduce SG by increasing the deterioration of …

Phyto-melatonin improves crop yield by mitigating the negative effects of abiotic stresses on
plant growth. Numerous studies are currently being conducted to investigate the significant …

Plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) play essential roles in the adaptation to harsh
environments and function in plant defense responses. PSMs act as key components of …

Melatonin is a multifunctional molecule that has been widely discovered in most plants. An
increasing number of studies have shown that melatonin plays essential roles in plant …

Salinity reduces agricultural productivity majorly by inhibiting seed germination. Exogenous
salicylic acid (SA) can prevent the harm caused to rice by salinity, but the mechanisms by …

Global warming in this century increases incidences of various abiotic stresses restricting
plant growth and productivity and posing a severe threat to global food production and …

Melatonin (MT) can effectively reduce oxidative damage induced by abiotic stresses such as
salt in plants. However, the effects of MT on physiological responses and molecular …

Crop production has been extensively affected globally due to heavy metal pollution.
Cadmium (Cd) toxicity is a major abiotic factor that reduces crop yield via reducing plant …
