Melatonin is a tryptophan‐based indole molecule found in primitive photosynthetic bacteria
to mammals. It performs different functions in plants like rhizogenesis, enhancing plant …

Several phytoremediation strategies have been undertaken to alleviate cadmium (Cd)-
mediated injury to crop yield resulting from agricultural land pollution. In the present study …

In this study, endophytic fungus Curvularia lunata strain SL1 was used to explore its
bioremediation potential and growth restoration of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) under …

Melatonin plays important roles in multiple stress responses. However, the downstream
signaling pathway and molecular mechanism are unclear until now. Here, we not only …

Melatonin is a hormone-like substance that promotes plant growth and development and
alleviates stress levels. Although the physiological roles of melatonin and the underlying …

In plants, melatonin is a potent bioactive molecule involved in the response against various
biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little is known of its defensive role against high light …

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal element. It is relatively easily absorbed by plants and
enters the food chain, resulting in human exposure to Cd. Italian ryegrass (Lolium …

Horticultural crops are crucial for food, nourishment, and economies worldwide, but they
face challenges from biotic and abiotic stressors, impacting productivity and quality. Effective …

Hyperaccumulators are plant species that tolerate and accumulate very high concentrations
of toxic metals, including Cd. Hyperaccumulation of heavy metals is reported to benefit plant …

Similar to the situation in animals, melatonin biosynthesis is regulated by four sequential
enzymatic steps in plants. Although the melatonin synthesis genes have been identified in …
