Exogenous melatonin enhances drought tolerance and germination in common buckwheat seeds through the coordinated effects of antioxidant and osmotic regulation

Abstract Background Drought stress is a major constraint on seed germination and crop productivity, particularly for drought-sensitive crops like common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum). Exogenous melatonin has emerged as a promising strategy to mitigate drought stress by enhancing plant physiologic...
