Research progress on synthesis and regulation of melatonin in fruit trees
Melatonin is a kind of indole hormone,which is widely present in animals and plants.Melatonin not only has nutritional and health care value,but also has a strong regulatory effect on plant growth and development and stress resistance.In this paper,the accumulation and synthesis of melatonin in fruit trees,the physiological function of melatonin on the growth and development of fruit trees and the regulatory role of melatonin in the stress response of fruit trees were reviewed.The development and utilization of its nutritional and health care value,and its application prospects in the synthesis and metabolism and regulatory mechanism of fruit trees were prospected,in order to provide reference for using melatonin to improve the production potential of fruit trees and improve the quality of fruit trees.
