Exogenous melatonin promotes seed germination and osmotic regulation under salt stress in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

PLoS ONE, 2020
Melatonin (MT; N-acetyI-5-methoxytryptamine) is an amine hormone involved in abiotic stress resistance. Previous studies have confirmed that melatonin can promote seed germination, mediate physiological regulation mechanisms, and stimulate crop growth ...

Melatonin Attenuates Cisplatin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury through Dual Suppression of Apoptosis and Necroptosis

Biology, 2019
Melatonin is well known to modulate the sleep−wake cycle. Accumulating evidence suggests that melatonin also has favorable effects such as anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in numerous disease models. It has been reported that melatonin

Behavioral changes in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, mediated by melatonin

CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2021
Background Melatonin has been proved to exist and play importance roles in rice plant, such as biosynthesis and resistance. However, little is known about the function of melatonin in its monophagous pest, the brown planthopper. Methods In this study, we
