Drought stress imposes a serious threat to crop productivity and nutritional security. Drought
adaptation mechanisms involve complex regulatory network comprising of various sensory …

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 …

Contamination by heavy metals has severely hampered agricultural productivity across the
world. Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most dangerous heavy metals to plants. Melatonin (ME) …

Water stress (drought and waterlogging) is severe abiotic stress to plant growth and
development. Melatonin, a bioactive plant hormone, has been widely tested in drought …

Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, heat, cold, and heavy metals, are associated with
global climate change and hamper plant growth and development, affecting crop yields and …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial microorganisms that can be
utilized to improve plant responses against biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we …

Melatonin and polyamines have been broadly found in multiple physiological processes and
in diverse abiotic stresses faced by plants. In various plant species, melatonin-induced …

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, MT) can mitigate abotic stress, including drought
stress on a number of crops. However, it is unclear whether and how seed priming with …

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an emerging biomolecule that
influences horticultural crop growth, flowering, fruit ripening, postharvest preservation, and …

In recent decades, global crop production is being threatened by contamination of arable
lands with vanadium (V). Among many stress-relief substances, melatonin (ME) is a widely …
