A physiological level of oxygen/nitrogen free radicals and non-radical reactive species
(collectively known as ROS/RNS) is termed oxidative eustress or “good stress” and is …

Melatonin is ubiquitous molecule with wide distribution in nature and is produced by many
living organisms. In human beings, pineal gland is the major site for melatonin production …

Drought stress affects plant growth and development by altering physiological and
biochemical processes resulting in reduced crop productivity. Zinc (Zn) is an essential …

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 …

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 …

The view that sleep is essential for survival is supported by the ubiquity of this behavior, the
apparent existence of sleep-like states in the earliest animals, and the fact that severe sleep …

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 …

Melatonin is uncommonly effective in reducing oxidative stress under a remarkably large
number of circumstances. It achieves this action via a variety of means: direct detoxification …

Mitochondria play a key role in both health and disease. Their function is not limited to
energy production but serves multiple mechanisms varying from iron and calcium …

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 …
