The purpose of this study was to explore the possibilities improving chilling stress tolerance eggplant seedlings through exogenous melatonin (MEL) application. Eggplant (Hadrian F1) were treated with various concentrations (0, 1, 5 or 25 μM) MEL via soil drench after which they subjected at 5°C/10°C (night/day) for 3 days. Following imposition, efficacy applications on enhancing determined by ...

Soil salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses restricting plant growth and development. Application regulators (PGRs) a possible practical means for minimizing salinity-induced yield losses, can be used in addition to or as an alternative crop breeding enhancing tolerance. The PGRs auxin, cytokinin, nitric oxide, brassinosteroid, gibberellin, salicylic acid, abscisic jasmonate, ethylene ha...
