Research Overview: Melatonin has been shown to reduce abiotic stress impact on plants as well as improve overall growth. Based on a recent study, it has even been suggested that melatonin could be used in place of fertilizer. The purpose of this study was to determine if exogenously applied melatonin on Arapadapsis thaliana, or thale cress, is more effective in plant growth than a generic fertilizer.
