Waterlogging is one of the main abiotic stresses suffered by plants. Inhibition of aerobic
respiration during waterlogging limits energy metabolism and restricts growth and a wide …

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

Melatonin is a multi-functional molecule that is ubiquitous in all living organisms. Melatonin
performs essential roles in plant stress tolerance; its application can reduce the harmful …

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 …

Background Melatonin is considered a potential plant growth regulator to enhance the
growth of plants and increase tolerance to various abiotic stresses. Nevertheless …

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) …

Chromium (Cr) phytotoxicity affirmed the need of mitigation strategies to remediate polluted
soils and restricts its accumulation in the food chains. Salicylic acid (SA) and silicon (Si) play …

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 …

Melatonin was discovered in plants in the late nineties, but its role, signaling, and crosstalk
with other phytohormones remain unknown. Research on melatonin in plants has risen …

In the era of global climate change, plants are exposed to various adversities in field
conditions [1]. Water stress (drought and waterlogging), salinity, metal/metalloid toxicity …
