Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Pre-soaking with melatonin increased the germination rate under low temperature.
- Intervention effect Pre-soaking with melatonin improved antioxidant capacity under low temperature.
- Intervention effect Pre-soaking with melatonin accelerated starch degradation under low temperature.
- Intervention effect Pre-soaking with melatonin alleviated low temperature-induced damage to chloroplasts in wheat coleoptiles.
- Intervention effect Parental melatonin treatment during grain filling significantly decreased grain weight in wheat.
- Intervention effect Seeds from parental melatonin-treated plants had higher antioxidant enzyme activity than control seeds under low temperature.
- Intervention effect Parental melatonin treatment modulated the activities of carbohydrate metabolism enzymes in wheat.
- Mechanism Modulated carbohydrate metabolism enzymes contribute to enhanced low temperature tolerance in wheat offspring.
- Recommendation Seed pre-soaking and parental melatonin treatment may be effective approaches for inducing low temperature tolerance in wheat.
