Melatonin is a ubiquitous indolamine, largely investigated for its key role in the regulation of
several physiological processes in both animals and plants. In the last century, it was …

Phytomelatonin, a multifunctional molecule that has been found to be present in all plants
examined to date, has an important role in plants as a modulatory agent (a biostimulator) …

Abstract The Chinese hickory (Carya cathayensis) is an economically important tree species
popular for its nuts. However, the tree requires a long time to reach the nut-producing phase …

Melatonin, a molecule first discovered in animal tissues, plays an important role in multiple
physiological responses as a possible plant master regulator. It mediates responses to …

Key message Melatonin induces a delay in flowering stabilizing DELLA proteins and also
promotes the transcription of FLC. In fruit set, melatonin is able to induce parthenocarpy …

Melatonin, a tryptophan-derived molecule, is endogenously generated in animal, plant,
