Growth activity, rooting capacity, and tropism: three auxinic precepts fulfilled by melatonin

摘要: Plant melatonin appears to be a multiregulatory molecule with multiple functions similar those observed in animals. It induces growth stems and stimulates root generation. is also able delay senescence by protecting photosynthetic systems related processes. One of the most studied actions its effect on biotic abiotic stresses plant, such as that produced drought, extreme temperatures, chemical pollution, UV radiation, etc. Recent data have demonstrated role modulator gene expression plants. In this review, we compare studies which show behaves way auxin, present relate physiological responses action promoting/inhibiting activity rooting capacity. addition, for first time, presented demonstrate possible involvement tropic response roots. The plant regulator relationship auxin signaling nitric oxide discussed hypothetical model.
