Phytomelatonin: An Ubiquitous Pleiotropic Molecule equips researchers with an understanding of the molecular biology of melatonin in plants. The book explores the occurrence of melatonin in several plant species, covering key aspects including its biosynthesis, physiological function in plant growth and development, and signaling pathways. It then discusses the benefits melatonin has for plant and agricultural development, as well as how it can be utilized as a therapeutic in the treatment of human diseases. The role it can play in the oxidative stress response and circadian rhythm modulation are covered, as well as its nutraceutical potential for human health. Phytomelatonin: An Ubiquitous Pleiotropic Molecule covers the importance of melatonin in a range of fields including drug discovery and disease resistance, agriculture, botany, and biotechnology, and is an ideal reference for researchers across these disciplines. Explores the role of melatonin as a signaling agent in a range of biological responses in plantsProvides an interdisciplinary study of melatonin and its potential uses, including disease treatment, nutraceutical development, and crop improvementInvestigates the therapeutic potential of melatonin in clinical settings, including for Covid-19Includes metabolomic profiling techniques of melatonin
