Iron, the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, is vital in living organisms
because of its diverse ligand-binding and electron-transfer properties. This ability of iron in …

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 …

超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase, SOD) 在需氧原核生物和真核生物中广泛存在,
是活性氧清除系统中第一个发挥作用的抗氧化酶. 植物正常代谢过程和在各种环境胁迫下均能 …

Melatonin is a ubiquitous indolamine, largely investigated for its key role in the regulation of
several physiological processes in both animals and plants. In the last century, it was …

Background Plant melatonin appears to be a multi-regulatory molecule, similar to those
observed in animals, with many specific functions in plant physiology. In recent years, the …

Aging and neurodegenerative diseases share common hallmarks, including mitochondrial
dysfunction and protein aggregation. Moreover, one of the major issues of the demographic …

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 …

Melatonin is a tryptophan-derived molecule with pleiotropic activities. It is present in almost
all or all organisms. Its synthetic pathway depends on the species in which it is measured …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as by-products of normal cellular metabolic
activities. Superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase are the enzymes …

The protective role of melatonin in plants against various abiotic stresses have been widely
demonstrated, but poorly explored in organ-specific responses and the transmission of …
