Exogenous application of melatonin improves plant resistance to virus infection
2019-09-01
Abstract excerpt
In this study, melatonin (MEL)‐mediated plant resistance to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was examined to study local infection in Nicotiana glutinosa and systemic infection in Solanum lycopersicum. Exogenous application of 100 µm MEL increased anti‐virus infection activity to 37.4% in virus‐infected N. glutinosa plants. The same treatment significantly reduced relative levels of virus RNA analysed by qRT‐PCR and vir...
