Climate change and agriculture are intrinsically connected sudden changes in climatic conditions adversely impact global food production security. The climate change-linked abiotic stressors like drought high temperatures resulting crop failure. most severe stress significantly affect the stomatal closure, of reactive oxygen species, transpiration, photosynthesis or other physiological processes plant morphology, growth yield. Therefore, there is an exigent need for cost effective eco-friendly modern technologies to induce tolerance plants leading climate-adapted sustainable agricultural practices sustained production. Among many options being pursued this regard, use promoting microbes (PGPMs) approach promote resilience better productivity. These PGPMs confer resistance via various direct indirect mechanisms including antioxidants, enzymes, exopolysaccharides, modulation phytohormones level, osmotic adjustment by inducing accumulation sugars, along with increases nutrients, water uptake photosynthetic pigments. However, several technological ecological challenges limit their sometimes treatment beneficial fails produce desired results under field conditions. Thus, development synthetic microbial communities host mediated microbiome engineering transgenic capacity express traits may survival present review critically assesses research evidence on potentials genes as develop resilient increased Effective collaboration among scientific communities, policymakers regulatory agencies needed create strong frameworks that both regulate utilization agriculture.

Exogenous melatonin modulates physiological responses, phytochemical profiles and essential oil production in grapefruit mint under drought stress

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: April 26, 2025

Currently, the use of anti-stress elicitors such as melatonin, N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, is known an effective method to reduce negative impacts stressful environments. Therefore, a two factor- five level (irrigation levels: 25-75% field capacity (FC) and melatonin: 0-300 mM) dry yield optimization modeling were done using central composite design, essential oil quantity quality, total phenol, flavonoid chlorophyll content also some physiological properties grapefruit mint (Mentha suaveolens × Mentha piperita). The results showed that biomass in severe drought stress was reduced by 73% comparison with normal irrigation. However, application 155 mM melatonin enhanced yield, flavonoid, 92.2, 33.4, 55.1, 45.3 143%, control. Optimization analysis predicted under FC 65% irrigation 240 would positively assist achieving maximum chlorophyll, mint. In addition, linalool acetate observed 50% treated melatonin. Generally, it can be concluded especially level, improved plant growth, quality characteristics stress.
