Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Low concentrations of melatonin promoted cotton seed germination.
- Intervention effect High concentrations of melatonin inhibited cotton seed germination.
- Intervention effect A 20 μM melatonin treatment optimally promoted cotton seed germination.
- Intervention effect The 20 μM melatonin treatment increased germination potential by 16.67% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect The 20 μM melatonin treatment increased germination rate by 12.30% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect The 20 μM melatonin treatment increased final fresh weight by 4.81% compared with the control.
- Intervention effect Low melatonin concentrations gave non-significant changes in vigor index, germination index and mean germination time.
- Intervention effect Antioxidant enzyme activity during germination was most prominent under the 20 μM melatonin treatment.
- Intervention effect Melatonin significantly increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity by 10.37-59.73% compared with the melatonin-free control.
- Intervention effect Melatonin significantly increased peroxidase (POD) activity by 17.79-47.68% compared with the melatonin-free control.
- Intervention effect The 20 μM melatonin treatment reduced seed ABA content by 42.13-51.68%.
- Intervention effect The 20 μM melatonin treatment increased seed GA3 content to about 1.7-2.5 times that of seeds germinated without melatonin.
- Association With increasing melatonin concentration, seed ABA content first decreased and then increased.
- Association Seed GA3 content showed a diametrically opposite trend to ABA with increasing melatonin concentration.
- Mechanism Low melatonin concentrations may promote cotton seed germination by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity, reducing MDA and regulating plant hormones.
