Melatonin (MT; N-acetyI-5-methoxytryptamine) is an amine hormone involved in abiotic stress resistance. Previous studies have confirmed that melatonin can promote seed germination, mediate physiological regulation mechanisms, and stimulate crop growth under stress. However, the osmotic mechanism by which exogenous mediates salt tolerance cotton still largely unknown. To investigate effect of on concentration germinating seeds, we analyzed content over time during germination different...

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, MT) can mitigate abotic stress, including drought stress on a number of crops. However, it is unclear whether and how seed priming with melatonin alleviates the effects germination seedling growth triticale ( Triticale hexaploide L.). In this study, we investigated MT germination, protective enzyme activity, superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide in under PEG-6000 induced stress. Seed 20 μM alleviated adverse growth. seeds primed exhibited improved...
