          Abstract

          Biosynthesis The readers are informed that the text given in the biosynthesis section of originally published article (doi: 10.3389/fpls.2015.01230) at line number 20–30 of page number two is not definitive and has very limited scientific evidence, so it should not be considered. Some steps illustrated in originally published Figure 1, like the conversion of tryptamine to Indo-3-acetaldehyde and indole acetic acid (IAA), and direct conversion of serotonin to melatonin by SNAT are not definitive, as they have very limited scientific evidence. So these steps should not be considered the part of originally published Figure 1. Figure 1 Biosynthesis of melatonin. The red arrows identify the preferred pathway in plants while the black arrows identify the major pathway in animals. TDC, tryptophan decarboxylase; T5H, tryptophan 5-hydroxylase; SNAT, serotonin N-acetyltransferase; HIOMT, hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase [also known as acetyl serotonin methyl transferase (ASMT)]. Modified from Arnao and Hernandez-Ruiz (2014). Author contributions All authors listed, have made substantial, direct, and intellectual contribution to the work, and approved it for publication. Conflict of interest statement The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

          Melatonin: plant growth regulator and/or biostimulator during stress?

          Melatonin regulates the growth of roots, shoots, and explants, to activate seed germination and rhizogenesis and to delay induced leaf senescence. The antioxidant properties of melatonin would seem to explain, at least partially, its ability to fortify plants subjected to abiotic stress. In this Review we examine recent data on the gene-regulation capacity of melatonin that point to many interesting features, such as the upregulation of anti-stress genes and recent aspects of the auxin-independent effects of melatonin as a plant growth regulator. This, together with the recent data on endogenous melatonin biosynthesis induction by environmental factors, makes melatonin an interesting candidate for use as a natural biostimulating treatment for field crops.
