Melatonin-Mediated Regulation of Antioxidant Defense Enhances the Resistance of Tea Plants (<i>Camellia sinensis</i> L.) to Lead-Induced Stress

Melatonin-Mediated Regulation of Antioxidant Defense Enhances the Resistance of Tea Plants (<i>Camellia sinensis</i> L.) to Lead-Induced Stress

Lead (Pb) is a toxic heavy metal that severely impairs plant growth and crop quality. Melatonin, a widely present indoleamine compound, enhances plant stress tolerance, yet its role in tea plant resistance to lead stress remains unclear. This study examined two tea genotypes with distinct anthocyani...
