induced defense responses and pathogen attenuation. Utilizing the current knowledge of …

Melatonin is a natural, multifunctional, nontoxic, regulatory, and ubiquitous biomolecule,
having low molecular weight and pleiotropic effects in the plant kingdom. It is a recently …

Environmental stress and pathogen infection are the major limiting factors in worldwide
horticulture production, resulting in huge yield loss. Melatonin (N-acetyl-5 …

Melatonin, a tryptophan-derived molecule, is endogenously generated in animal, plant,
fungal and prokaryotic cells. Given its antioxidant properties, it is involved in a myriad of …

Melatonin is a kind of indoleamine that plays an important role against abiotic stress. In the
