Melatonin is an ancient molecule that can be traced back to the origin of life. Melatonin's
initial function was likely that as a free radical scavenger. Melatonin presumably evolved in …

Heavy metal toxicity is one of the most devastating abiotic stresses. Heavy metals cause
serious damage to plant growth and productivity, which is a major problem for sustainable …

Melatonin is a pleiotropic molecule with multiple functions in plants. Since the discovery of
melatonin in plants, numerous studies have provided insight into the biosynthesis …

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 …

Rapid industrialisation, increased rate of waste production, higher agricultural inputs,
mining, industrial waste, and contaminated irrigation water are increasing the heavy metal …

Melatonin is a multifunctional biomolecule found in both animals and plants. In this review,
the biosynthesis, levels, signaling, and possible roles of melatonin and its metabolites in …

Two independent trials were conducted to examine the involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in
MT-mediated tolerance to Cd toxicity in wheat plants. Cadmium toxicity considerably led to a …

Melatonin, along with its metabolites, have long been known to significantly reduce the
oxidative stress burden of aging cells or cells exposed to toxins. Oxidative damage is a …

Plants respond to environmental pollutants such as heavy metal (s) by triggering the
expression of genes that encode proteins involved in stress response. Toxic metal ions …

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy.
Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered …
