Melatonin Enhances Maize Germination, Growth, and Salt Tolerance by Regulating Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation and Antioxidant Systems by Wei-Qing Li, Jia-Yu Li, Shao-Jie Bi, Jia-Yue Jin, Zhong-Ling Fan, Zi-Lin Shang, Yi-Fei Zhang, Yan-Jie Wang

“…Consequently, in this research, we utilized the maize cultivars Zhengdan 958 (ZD958) and Demeiya 1 (DMY1), which are extensively marketed in northeastern China’s high-latitude cold regions, to reveal the modulating effects of melatonin on maize salinity tolerance by determining the impacts of varying concentrations of melatonin on maize seedling growth characteristics, osmoregulation, antioxidant systems, and gene expression. The findings revealed that salt stress (100 mM NaCl) significantly inhibited maize seed germination and seedling development, which resulted in significant increases in the H₂O₂ and O₂⁻ content and decreases in the antioxidant enzyme activity and photosynthetic pigment content in maize seedlings. …”
