Abstract:

Against the backdrop of ongoing global environmental changes and increasingly severe soil salinization,enhancing plant stress resistance and developing high-value plant resources have become urgent priorities. As an endogenous molecule,melatonin plays a vital role in regulating plant growth and stress responses. Meanwhile,Cynanchum auriculatum,a traditional Chinese medicinal herb,has demonstrated great potential in recent years within the fields of medicine and healthcare. This review summarizes the physiological and molecular mechanisms through which melatonin mitigates plant salt-alkali stress and explores its potential applications in Cynanchum auriculatum,aiming to provide theoretical references for the resistance breeding and industrial development of this species.

Key words: salt-alkali tolerance, melatonin, mechanism exploration, Cynanchum auriculatum, development prospect
