Melatonin from plants, also known as phytomelatonin, was discovered in 1995, and since then, affecting many areas of research related to plants. Thus, the number publications on phytomelatonin has grown exponentially recent years, especially Plant Physiology Molecular studies. In this paper, we try expose great incidence that detection neurohormone plants is having, its relevance such agronomy,...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on Journal blog. Circadian rhythms shape diverse biological processes spanning individual physiology and behaviour, even influencing survival (Dodd et al., 2005; Libert 2012; Spoelstra 2016), species interactions (Bloch 2017) co-evolution (Westwood 2019). Whilst evolution genetic underpinnings of circadian have been relatively well studied (...

A dissection of longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans reveals that animal life span is influenced by genes, environment, and stochastic factors. From molecules to physiology, a remarkable degree of evolutionary conservation is seen.

Environmental stress triggers substantial alterations in animal physiology and, in some cases, brain structure. Using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a new study reports that unfavorable conditions lead to dramatic dendrite remodeling in neurons that mediate an adaptive dispersal behavior.
