Abstract

In this study, we examined the role of melatonin in reducing of the negative effects of photo-oxidative stress in detached leaves of Arabidopsis. Melatonin was shown to participate in the retention of chlorophyll and the maintenance of photosystem II. Melatonin also reduced the accumulation of anthocyanins and malonic dialdehyde. The effect of melatonin was presumably associated with the direct deactivation of reactive oxygen species, particularly with the increase in carotenoids and proline performing the antioxidant function.
