Melatonin Improves Salt Tolerance in Tomato Seedlings by Enhancing Photosystem II Functionality and Calvin Cycle Activity

Melatonin Improves Salt Tolerance in Tomato Seedlings by Enhancing Photosystem II Functionality and Calvin Cycle Activity

Salt stress severely impairs photosynthesis and development in tomato seedlings. This study investigated the regulatory role of exogenous melatonin (MT) on photosynthetic performance under salt stress by determining chlorophyll content, chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters, Calvin cycle enzyme acti...
