Because water scarcity is one of the most significant risks to agriculture's future, improving performance plants cope with stress critical. Our research scrutinized impact melatonin application on photosynthetic machinery, physiology, root system, osmoprotectant accumulation, oxidative in tomato during drought. The results showed that melatonin-treated had remarkably higher levels, gas exchange activities, system morphological parameters (average diameter, activity, forks, projected area, crossings, volume, surface length, tips, numbers), (proline, trehalose, fructose, sucrose, GB) transcript levels genes SlPsb28, SlPetF, SlPsbP, SlPsbQ, SlPetE, SlPsbW.

Tomato is an important vegetable that highly sensitive to drought (DR) stress which impairs the development of tomato seedlings. Recently, melatonin (ME) has emerged as a nontoxic, regulatory biomolecule regulates plant growth and enhances DR tolerance mechanism in plants. The present study was conducted examine defensive role ME photosynthesis, root architecture, antioxidant enzymes' activities seedlings subjected stress. Our results indicated strongly suppressed biomass production, inhibited negatively affected morphology, reduced photosynthetic pigments Per contra, soluble sugars, proline, ROS (reactive oxygen species) were suggested be improved under Conversely, (100 µM) pretreatment detrimental-effect by restoring chlorophyll content, gas exchange parameters attributes compared with DR-group only. Moreover, supplementation also mitigated enzymes [APX (ascorbate peroxidase), CAT (catalase), DHAR (dehydroascorbate reductase), GST (glutathione S-transferase), GR MDHAR (monodehydroascorbate POD (peroxidase), SOD (superoxide dismutase)], non-enzymatic [AsA (ascorbate), DHA (dehydroascorbic acid), GSH (glutathione), GSSG, (oxidized glutathione)] activities, oxidative damage [EL (electrolyte leakage), H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), MDA (malondialdehyde), O2•- ion)] osmoregulation (soluble sugars proline) seedlings, regulating gene expression for SOD, CAT, APX, GR, POD, GST, DHAR, MDHAR.

Among abiotic stresses, salinity is a major global threat to agriculture, causing severe damage crop production and productivity. Potato (Solanum tuberosum) regarded as future food by FAO ensure security, which severely affected salinity. The growth of the potato plant inhibited under salt stress due osmotic stress-induced ion toxicity. Salinity-mediated leads physiological changes in plant, including nutrient imbalance, impairment detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS), membrane damage, reduced photosynthetic activities. Several biochemical phenomena, such maintenance water status, transpiration, respiration, use efficiency, hormonal balance, leaf area, germination, antioxidants are adversely affected. ROS increased plasma permeability extravasations substances, causes imbalance plasmolysis. However, plants cope with mediated oxidative conditions enhancing both enzymatic non-enzymatic antioxidant osmoprotectants, proline, polyols (sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, lactitol, maltitol), quaternary ammonium compound (glycine betaine) synthesized overcome adverse effect response tolerance include complex multifaceted mechanisms that controlled multiple proteins their interactions. This review aims redraw attention researchers explore current physiological, molecular responses subsequently develop potential mitigation strategies against potatoes.
