Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: SlSNAT1-dependent melatonin synthesis enhances tomato cold tolerance by promoting SlNCED1-mediated ABA accumulation, thereby strengthening antioxidant capacity, maintaining photosynthesis, and reducing ROS-induced membrane damage under cold stress. Cold stress limits greenhouse tomato growth by suppressing photosynthesis, promoting reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and disrupting membrane...
