Exogenous melatonin ameliorates cold-induced damage in tomato plants
Abstract
Melatonin promotes photosynthetic carbon fixation in cold-stressed tomato plants. Melatonin improves antioxidant potential in cold-stressed tomato plants. Melatonin induces expressions of cold-responsive genes in tomato plants. Melatonin increases accumulation of metabolites in cold-stressed plants. Melatonin ameliorates cold-induced damage in tomato plants.
