Exogenous Melatonin mediates the regulation of endogenous nitric oxide in Glycine max L. to reduce effects of drought stress

Muhammad Imran et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that both melatonin (MT) and nitric oxide (NO) can alleviate the growth inhibition of soybean caused by drought stress, by enhancing plant biomass, photosynthesis efficiency, and water content, while reducing reactive oxygen species accumulation. The treatments with MT and NO also increased antioxidant enzyme activities, reduced lipid peroxidation, and regulated the synthesis of the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) during drought stress. Moreover, the study found that the combination of MT and NO led to improved drought stress tolerance in soybean by triggering the downregulation of NO accumulation and increasing the expression of transcription factors.
