Abstract Melatonin was found in plants the late 1990s, but its function, signaling, and interaction with other phytohormones still unclear. research has increased substantially recent years, including reports on impact of this putative plant hormone under biotic abiotic stress situations. Temperature extremes, salt, drought, hypoxia or anoxia, nutrient deficiency, herbicides, UV radiation stress, heavy metal toxicity are all important obstacles to horticulture crop production worldwide. To deal these environmental challenges, have evolved complex signaling networks. Phytohormones essential for controlling growth, development, responses. Melatonin, a pleiotropic chemical present variety species, recently emerged as powerful regulator tolerance. The purpose review is investigate interplay between melatonin control responses horticultural crops. We explore interactions several various stresses.

Due to global climate change, abiotic stresses are affecting plant growth, productivity, and the quality of cultivated crops. Stressful conditions disrupt physiological activities suppress defensive mechanisms, resulting in stress-sensitive plants. Consequently, plants implement various endogenous strategies, including hormone biosynthesis (e.g., abscisic acid, jasmonic salicylic brassinosteroids, indole-3-acetic cytokinins, ethylene, gibberellic strigolactones) withstand stress conditions. Combined or single disrupts normal transportation solutes, causes electron leakage, triggers reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, creating oxidative Several enzymatic non-enzymatic defense systems marshal a plant’s antioxidant defenses. While responses protective role system have been well-documented recent investigations, interrelationships among hormones, neurotransmitters (NTs, such as serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, γ-aminobutyric acid), defenses not well explained. Thus, this review discusses advances transgenic metabolic developments, potential interaction hormones with NTs response tolerance mechanisms. Furthermore, we discuss current challenges future directions (transgenic breeding genome editing) for improvement using modern molecular tools. The involved regulating systems, networks, abiotic-induced also discussed.

Global climate changes cause extreme temperatures and a significant reduction in crop production, leading to food insecurity worldwide. Temperature extremes (including both heat cold stresses) is one of the most limiting factors plant growth development severely affect physiology, biochemical, molecular processes. Biostimulants like melatonin (MET) have multifunctional role that acts as “defense molecule” safeguard plants against noxious effects temperature stress. MET treatment improves tolerance by improving several defense mechanisms. Current research also suggests interacts with other molecules, phytohormones gaseous which greatly supports adaptation Genetic engineering via overexpression or CRISPR/Cas system biosynthetic genes uplifts levels transgenic enhances stress tolerance. This review highlights critical production We documented how molecules alleviate MET-mediated breeding would be great potential helping adverse creating plants.

Abstract Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an indole molecule widely found in animals and plants. It well known that melatonin improves plant resistance to various biotic abiotic stresses due its potent free radical scavenging ability while being able modulate signaling response pathways through mostly unknown mechanisms. In recent years, increasing number of studies have shown plays a crucial role improving crop quality yield by participating the regulation aspects growth development. Here, we review effects on vegetative reproductive development, systematically summarize molecular regulatory network. Moreover, effective concentrations exogenously applied different crops or at stages same are analysed. addition, compare endogenous phytomelatonin organs, evaluate potential function circadian rhythms.

Research on melatonin has risen dramatically recent years role of this putative plant hormone under biotic abiotic stress conditions been reported. In present review, we discuss main functions growth development plants, stresses, such as water (waterlogging drought), extreme temperature (low high), salinity, heavy metal, light-induced stress.

Increasing food demand by the growing human population and declining crop productivity due to climate change affect global security. To meet challenges, developing improved crops that can tolerate abiotic stresses is a priority. Melatonin in plants, also known as phytomelatonin, an active component of various cellular mechanisms alleviates oxidative damage hence supporting plant survive stress conditions. Exogenous melatonin strengthens this defence mechanism enhancing detoxification reactive by-products, promoting physiological activities, upregulating stress-responsive genes alleviate during stress. In addition its well-known antioxidant activity, protects against regulating hormones, activating ER genes, increasing protein homoeostasis, heat shock transcription factors proteins. Under stress, enhances unfolded response, endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation, autophagy, which ultimately protect cells from programmed cell death promotes repair resulting increased survival.
