Abstract

were downregulated. In conclusion, exogenous melatonin could increase the contents of chlorophyll and osmoregulatory substance, photosynthetic chemical efficiency, and key carbon assimilation enzyme activities of cucumber seedlings under salt-alkali stress, thereby enhance photosynthetic capacity and reduce the stress-induced plant damage. The results would provide theoretical basis for anti-saline plant cultivation.
