Ameliorative effects of exogenous melatonin to heavy metal and other abiotic stress tolerance in plants

Heavy Metal (HM) toxicity is defended by plants using mechanisms such as metal chelation and vacuolar sequestration. HM-induced oxidative stress is also limited in plants by routine scavenging of free radicals including reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) generation. In this review, we focus...
