Climate change and abiotic stress factors are key players in crop losses worldwide. Among
which, extreme temperatures (heat and cold) disturb plant growth and development, reduce …

In horticultural crop production, the use of plant growth regulators has become a common
practice for improvement of produce quality and mitigation of abiotic and biotic stresses. In …

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) …

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 …

Background Owing to the postharvest mass loss in most tropical and subtropical fruits and
vegetables caused by chilling injury (CI), it is necessary to look for effective technologies to …

We investigated the effect of exogenous glutathione (GSH) on chilling injury (CI) in
postharvest bell pepper fruits stored at low temperature and explored the mechanism of this …

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 …

Nitric oxide (NO), a colorless gaseous molecule, is a lipophilic free radical that easily
diffuses through the plasma membrane. These characteristics make NO an ideal autocrine …

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
current study, we investigated the effect of exogenous melatonin (100 μM) on bell pepper …
