Melatonin is a pleiotropic signaling molecule that reduces the adverse effects of abiotic
stresses, and enhances the growth and physiological function of many plant species …

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) plays important role in multiple plant
developmental processes and stress responses. We investigated the possible mediatory …

Background Soil salt stress is a problem in the world, which turns into one of the main
limiting factors hindering maize production. Salinity significantly affects root physiological …

This study aimed to investigate the possible alleviating effect of chitosan on salt-induced
growth retardation and oxidative stress and to elucidate whether this effect is linked to …

Physio-biochemical adaptations of wheat landraces may have great importance in their
growth, survival and yield under drought stress. Here, we evaluated the effects of drought …

Melatonin has the ability to improve plant growth and strengthened plant tolerance to
environmental stresses; however, the effects of melatonin on mitochondrial respiration in …

The effects of exogenous progesterone (PROG) on chilling injury (CI) in postharvest banana
fruit were investigated. Concentration screening tests showed that 10− 5 mol/l PROG was …

The present study reveals the importance of alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway in optimizing
photosynthesis under osmotic and temperature stress conditions in the mesophyll …

Heat tolerance is well known to be key to fungal survival in many habitats, but our
mechanistic understanding of how organisms adapt to heat stress is still incomplete. Using …

The present work aimed to characterize some of the mitochondrial and defense responses
involved in tolerance to cold stress (CS) in tolerant (Sel96Th11439) and sensitive (ILC533) …
