Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) was discovered in plants in 1995, while salicylic acid was the name given to the active ingredient of willow in 1838. From a physiological point of view, these two molecules present in plants have never been compared, even though they have a great number of similarities, as we shall see in this work. Both molecules have biosynthesis pathways that share a common precursor and both play a relevant role in the physiology of plants, especially in aspects related to biotic and abiotic stress. They have also been described as biostimulants of photosynthetic processes and productivity enhancers in agricultural crops. We review the coincident aspects of both molecules, and propose an action model, by which the relationship between these molecules and other agents and plant hormones can be studied.

- Is Phytomelatonin a New Plant Hormone? (2020, background): “Induced stresses also up regulate the gene expression of the melatonin biosynthesis enzymes tryptophan 5-hydroxylase (T5H), tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC), serotonin N-acetyltransferase (SNAT), acetylserotonin methyltransferase (ASMT) and caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) [42,47,56].”
