Melatonin (Mel) serves as an important signalling molecule in various aspects of stress
tolerance in plants. However, the function of Mel in pesticide metabolism remains unknown …

The MADS-box transcription factors play essential roles in many physiological and
biochemical processes of plants, especially in fruit ripening. Here, a tomato MADS-box …

Within the chloroplasts reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated during photosynthesis
and stressful conditions. Excessive ROS damages chloroplasts and reduces photosynthesis …

Ethylene has long been regarded as a stress-related hormone, but only recently the link
between ethylene signaling pathway and salt stress was primarily established. Ethylene …

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 …

Fruit ripening relies on the precise spatiotemporal control of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-
dependent gene transcription, and the evolutionarily conserved Mediator (MED) coactivator …

Melatonin is a natural biostimulating molecule that occurs in a number of plant species.
Despite a short history of phytomelatonin research, the critical roles of melatonin in plant …

Although the effects of melatonin on plant abiotic and biotic stress resistance have been
explored in recent decades, the accumulation of endogenous melatonin in plants and its …

Low temperature is an adverse environmental factor posing damage to tomato plants and
causing huge loss of yields. Thus, seeking an effective way of ameliorating cold damage is …

Since melatonin was identified in plants decades ago, much attention has been devoted to
discovering its role in plant science. There is still a great deal to learn about the functional …
