Ameliorative Effect of Melatonin on Morphological and Biochemical Parameters of Salt-Tolerant and Sensitive Genotypes of Macrotyloma Uniflorum (L.) Verdc.

Abstract excerpt

Salt stress is a major challenge to the production of legumes as it affects their germination, growth, yield, and general physiology. Further, it also impairs their nitrogen fixation by causing osmotic stress and sodium-induced nutrient imbalances. Treatment with melatonin, a potent antioxidant and growth regulator, leads to the metabolic reprogramming of the plants to improve the stress tolerance capabilities of...
