Melatonin, originally discovered as a pineal gland hormone in animals, is now recognized as a significant signaling molecule in plants' response to various stressors. Its potential role in stress management in agriculture is being explored, with a focus on its biosynthetic pathways and potential applications as a growth promoter and quality improvement molecule.
Melatonin was discovered as a pineal gland hormone in animals and is now more significantly known as a signaling molecule in plants' biotic and abiotic stressors. Melatonin has been traced back to prokaryotic organisms during evolution and its primary function of antioxidant scavenging free radicals in photosynthetic prokaryotic bacteria is a lesser explored and exciting area for further research globally. The authors at IIT Delhi are trying to establish its potential role in stress management in agriculture. The present manuscript addresses the biosynthetic pathways hitherto suggested by scientists. In this manuscript, the potential scope of melatonin in agriculture as a growth promoter, post-harvest loss inhibitor, and signaling and quality improvement molecule is envisaged.
