Heterologous Expression of the Melatonin-Related Gene <i>HIOMT</i> Improves Salt Tolerance in <i>Malus domestica</i>

Melatonin, a widely known indoleamine molecule that mediates various animal and plant physiological processes, is formed from N-acetyl serotonin via N-acetylserotonin methyltransferase (ASMT). ASMT is an enzyme that catalyzes melatonin synthesis in plants in the rate-determining step and is homologo...
