doi:10.16178/j.issn.0528-9017.20240245

Abstract

Abstract:

Melatonin (MT), as a type of hormone substance, has been proven to be widely present and participate in the growth and development of plants. It plays an important role in the continuous adaptation of plants to new environments. In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have conducted comprehensive research on the involvement of MT in plant resistance to different stress such as drought, salt, heavy metals, high temperatures and low temperatures. This article introduced the natural synthesis pathway of MT in plants, the mechanism of MT in plant stress resistance, and the relationship between MT content and different stresses by referring to existing research results. It also proposed future research directions and prospects for MT in stress resistance.

Key words: melatonin, growth and development of plant, stress, stress resistance
