Exogenous melatonin improves salt tolerance in tomato by regulating photosynthetic electron flux and the ascorbate–glutathione cycle

Melatonin (MT) can protect plants against abiotic stress. In order to explore whether melatonin can improve photosynthetic function under NaCl stress, Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Liaoyuanduoli were exposed to 150 mmol L−1 NaCl stress with or without pretreatment with 150 μmol L−1 melatonin. The resu...
