Possible Interaction: Melatonin and Sodium Chloride

“ Melatonin arrested collagenase expression by downregulation of these signaling molecules thereby halting the progression of the disease.”

“ Melatonin binding was affected by a variety of ionic manipulations; it was inhibited 55% and 62% after addition of 10 mM KC1 and 120 mM NaCl , respectively, and it was increased 40% and 50% after the addition of 4 or 6 mM CaCl2.”

“Leaf protein contents and the degradation of photosynthetic pigments were lower when LA + MT treatments were added into NaCl media.”

“Furthermore, melatonin attenuated neuroinflammatory markers and reactive oxygen species (ROS), induced by ischemic stroke, via halting the key players of mitogen stress family (p38/JNK).”

“A pretreatment with 5 μM melatonin significantly improved the growth of L. bicolor seedlings under 300 mM NaCl.”

“When adding NaCl , positive impacts of MEL on the accumulation of both SGs were also observed.”

“Exogenous MT enhanced the resistance to NaCl and improved K+/Na+ homeostasis in sweet potato seedlings as indicated by the low reduced K+ content in tissues and low accumulation of Na+ content in the shoot.”

“Overall, this study provides new evidence that melatonin alleviates the inhibitory effects of NaCl stress on seed germination by promoting energy production.”

“ NaCl stimulated a decrease of melatonin.”

“At the same time, melatonin positively up‐regulated GA biosynthesis genes (e.g., GA20ox and GA3ox, 2.3 and 3.9‐fold higher than NaCl treatment at 0 and 12 hr, respectively), contributing to a significant increase of GA (especially GA4) content.”

“Exogenous melatonin decreased oxidative damage induced by NaCl stress by enhancing gene expression of antioxidants.”

“In this study, we provide new evidence suggesting that melatonin alleviates the inhibitory effects of NaCl stress on germination mainly by regulating the biosynthesis and catabolism of ABA and GA4.”
