摘要：

A widespread occurrence of melatonin (MEL) in plant kingdom has been reported. MEL is a highly conserved molecule occurring in evolutionary distant organisms. Its role in plants seems to be similar to that in animals. Although MEL function in plants is not well known, yet a hypothesis can be put forward that it probably functions as a night signal, coordinating responses to diurnal and photoperiodic environmental cues. It has also been suggested that MEL is an independent plant growth regulator, probably its action is analogous to IAA and it may mediate the actions of other plant growth regulators. Due to its antioxidant properties MEL may also stabilize cell red-ox status and protect them against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other harmful environmental influence.
