Integrative multi-scale analysis reveals a candidate melatonin receptor associated with early salinity response networks in barley (opens in new tab)

Melatonin serves as a crucial signaling regulator in plants, playing a vital role in their growth, development, and stress responses. Although receptor-mediated signaling has been well characterized for several plant hormones, the integration of melatonin perception into early stress response networks in temperate cereals remains unclear. Here, we employed an integrative, multi-scale approach combining computational modeling with molecular, physiological, and biochemical analyses to investiga...
