Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Melatonin promoted growth of alfalfa seedlings under salt stress, with higher plant height, leaf area and fresh weight.
- Intervention effect Melatonin treatment increased the photosynthetic capacity and starch content of alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Melatonin mainly induced transcription of genes involved in Ca2+ signaling (CNGCs, CAM/CMLs, CDPKs) in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Melatonin mainly induced transcription of genes involved in starch and sucrose metabolism in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Melatonin mainly induced transcription of genes involved in plant hormone signal transduction in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Melatonin mainly induced transcription of key transcription factors (C3Hs, MYBs, ERFs, WRKYs) in alfalfa.
- Mechanism Interactions between melatonin and other phytohormones occurred via regulation of the expression of genes involved in hormone signaling pathways.
- Intervention effect Under salt stress melatonin increased the contents of endogenous melatonin, auxin and gibberellic acid (GA3).
- Intervention effect Under salt stress melatonin increased the contents of salicylic acid, brassinosteroids and ethylene.
- Intervention effect Under salt stress melatonin decreased the abscisic acid content.
- Mechanism The study established a regulatory network for melatonin-induced key signaling pathways and functional genes under salt stress.
