Role of melatonin in promoting growth attributes, thymol, rosmarinic acid and biochemical properties in Thymus vulgaris L. under water deficiency by Ghasem Eghlima, Fateme Aghamir, Hanifeh Seyed Hajizadeh, Saeedeh Zarbakhsh

“…The least malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation as well as proline accumulation was related to the plants treated with 150 µM melatonin under normal conditions while plants grown at 40% FC without melatonin had the most concentrations of the mentioned osmolytes. Regardless to melatonin application, in T. vulgaris under 40% FC conditions the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) were considerably more than those in control plants (100% FC) by 4.1, 1.8, and 0.64 times respectively. …”
