Global climate changes cause extreme temperatures and a significant reduction in crop
production, leading to food insecurity worldwide. Temperature extremes (including both heat …

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

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 …

The general circulation models estimated an average increase in global surface
temperature about 4° C (2.9 to 5.5° C). Escalating temperature and extreme weather events …

Main conclusion Environmental-friendly techniques based on plant stress memory, cross-
stress tolerance, and seed priming help sustainable agriculture by mitigating negative …

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 …

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 …

Melatonin, a derivative of tryptophan, was first detected in plant species in 1995 and it has
been shown to be a diverse regulator during plant growth and development, and in stress …

Melatonin (MT) functions as an important bio-active molecule in diverse physiological
processes in higher plants. In the present study the role of MT in modulating ripening and …

Recent reports have uncovered the multifunctional role of melatonin in plant physiological
responses under optimal and suboptimal environmental conditions. In this study, we …
