Exogenous melatonin improves growth and photosynthetic capacity of cucumber under salinity-induced stress (2016, background): “MT also plays a role in regulating a photoperiod and circadian rhythms in plants (Kolář et al. 2003), it attenuates photooxidation of the photosynthetic apparatus, and, at moderate concentrations, protects chlorophyll (Chl) during senescence.”
Melatonin in plants (2008, background): “Moreover, the fact that exogenous MEL only affects the flowering of the short-day plant Chenopodium rubrum at high doses (0.5 mM), particularly during the early stages of photoperiodic induction, goes against it being considered as a physiological agent (Kolář et al. 2003).”
Melatonin stimulates the expansion of etiolated lupin cotyledons (2008, background): “The effect that exogenous melatonin only affects the flowering of the short-day plant Chenopodium rubrum at high doses (0.5 mM), particularly during the early stages of photoperiodic induction, goes against it being considered as a physiological agent (Kolar et al. 2003).”
Alleviation of salinity stress on Vicia faba L. plants via seed priming with melatonin (2014, background): “These studies suggested that melatonin was involved in many plant functions as delaying flower induction (Kolár et al., 2003); stimulation of hypocotyl, coleoptile and root growth (Chen et al., 2009), and protection against chlorophyll degradation (Arnao and Hernández-Ruiz., 2009).”
