Melatonin: dual players mitigating drought-induced stress in tomatoes via modulation of phytohormones and antioxidant signaling cascades
Abstract Drought stress significantly retards the plant production.Melatonin is a vital hormone, signaling molecule, and bio-regulator of diverse physiological growth and development processes.Its role in boosting agronomic traits under diverse stress conditions has received considerable attention.However, the underlying molecular mechanism of acti
