- Intervention effect Melatonin increased alfalfa root length, surface area, height and leaf dimensions under salt stress.
- Intervention effect Melatonin increased aerial and root biomass and SPAD readings.
- Intervention effect Melatonin increased proline and soluble protein content.
- Intervention effect Melatonin reduced malonaldehyde content.
