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 …

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 …

The plant circadian clock coordinates the responses to multiple and often simultaneous
environmental challenges that the sessile plant cannot avoid. These responses must be …

Many plants use information about changing day length (photoperiod) to align their
flowering time with seasonal changes to increase reproductive success. A mechanism for …

Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression through binding to cis-regulatory
specific sequences in the promoters of their target genes. In contrast to the genetic code, the …

Phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs) are members of the Arabidopsis thaliana basic helix-
loop-helix family of transcriptional regulators that interact specifically with the active Pfr …

Trees growing in boreal and temperate regions synchronize their growth with seasonal
climatic changes in adaptive responses that are essential for their survival. These trees …

The ability to interpret daily and seasonal alterations in light and temperature signals is
essential for plant survival. This is particularly important during seedling establishment when …

Heterosis, also known as hybrid vigour, is widespread in plants and animals, but the
molecular bases for this phenomenon remain elusive. Recent studies in hybrids and …
