Popis: As a multifunctional signal molecule, melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) plays many important roles in the regulation of plant growth and development. The effect of melatonin application on enhancing plant stress tolerance has been widely reported, but the ameliorative effect of exogenous melatonin treatment on plants exposed to ionization stress is still unknown. This study investigated the ameliorative effects of two types of melatonin treatment, pre-sowing priming (prMel) and application during growth (ptMel), in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings exposed to different radiation doses (100, 200, 300 and 400 Gy) of radioactive cobalt (
