Induction of Low Temperature Tolerance in Wheat by Pre-Soaking and Parental Treatment with Melatonin
Published 2021-02-01“…The results showed that pre-soaking with melatonin increased the germination rate, improved antioxidant capacity and accelerated starch degradation under low temperature, which alleviated low temperature-induced damage to the chloroplasts in coleoptiles of wheat seedlings. Parental melatonin treatment during grain filling stage significantly decreased the grain weight. …”

Excess manganese increases photosynthetic activity via enhanced reducing center and antenna plasticity in Chlorella vulgaris
Published 2023-07-01“…Additionally, manganese is a cofactor in enzymatic antioxidants, notably the superoxide dismutases—which are localized to the chloroplastic membrane. However, unlike other metals found in the photosynthetic ETC, previous research has shown exposure to excess manganese enhances photosynthetic activity rather than diminishing it. …”
