Global warming in this century increases incidences of various abiotic stresses, restricting plant growth and productivity posing a severe threat to global food production security. Different phytohormones are produced by plants mitigate the adverse effects these stresses. One such phytohormone is melatonin (MEL), which, being potential bio-stimulator, helps govern wide array functions horticultural crops. Recent advancements have determined role MEL plants’ responses enhances physiological as seed germination, development, seedling growth, root system architecture, photosynthetic efficiency. The function stressful environments regulate enzymatic non-enzymatic antioxidant activity, thus playing substantial scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Additionally, MEL, regulator aids promoting tolerance stress, mainly through improvements nutrient uptake, osmolyte production, cellular membrane stability. This review, therefore, focuses on possible induction different stresses Therefore, review would help readers learn more about altered provide new suggestions how knowledge could be used develop stress tolerance.

Plants being sessile in nature, are exposed to unwarranted threats as a result of constantly changing environmental conditions. These adverse factors can have negative impacts on their growth, development, and yield. Hormones key signaling molecules enabling cells respond rapidly different external internal stimuli. In plants, melatonin (MT) plays critical role the integration various signals activation stress-response networks develop defense mechanisms plant resilience. Additionally, tackle stress-induced alteration cellular redox equilibrium by regulating expression hemostasis-related genes proteins. The purpose this article is compile summarize scientific research pertaining MT's effects plants' resilience biotic abiotic stresses. Here, we summarized that MT exerts synergistic effect with other phytohormones, for instance, ethylene, jasmonic acid, salicylic activates defense-related against phytopathogens. Furthermore, interacts secondary messengers like Ca2+, nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species regulate network. This interaction triggers transcription alleviate stress-related responses plants. Hence, synergic diverse hormones demonstrates phytomelatonin's importance influencing multiple contribute harsh factors.

Phyto-melatonin improves crop yield by mitigating the negative effects of abiotic stresses on plant growth. Numerous studies are currently being conducted to investigate significant performance melatonin in crops regulating agricultural growth and productivity. However, a comprehensive review pivotal phyto-melatonin morpho-physiological biochemical activities under needs be clarified. This focused research activities, regulation, redox status, signal transduction plants stresses. Furthermore, it also highlighted role defense systems as biostimulants stress conditions. The study revealed that enhances some leaf senescence proteins, protein further interacts with plant’s photosynthesis activity, macromolecules, changes response stress. Our goal is thoroughly evaluate stress, which will help us better understand mechanism regulates yield.

Abiotic stresses are considered as a significant factor restricting horticultural crop productivity and quality. Drought stress is major environmental constraint among the emerging concerns. Plants have susceptibility to drought stress, resulting in marked decline production during last several decades. The development of effective strategies mitigate essential for sustainable agriculture food security, especially considering continuous growth world population. Several studies suggested that exogenous application phytohormone plants can improve tolerance by activating molecular physiological defense systems. Phytohormone pretreatment potential approach alleviating plants. In addition, melatonin, salicylic acid, jasmonates, strigolactones, brassinosteroids, gamma-aminobutyric acid phytohormones function regulators effects stress. These hormones frequently interact with one another survival drought-stressed environments. To sum up, this review will predominantly elucidate role related mechanisms across various horticulture species.
