Exogenous application of melatonin mitigates the adverse effects of drought stress on morpho-physiological traits and secondary metabolites in Moldavian balm ().

Melatonin has emerged as an important signaling molecule that regulates plant responses to environmental stresses. In this research, melatonin was used to alleviate the adverse effects of oxidative stress induced by water deficit in Moldavian balm () plants and morpho-physiological traits were investigated. This experiment was conducted as a factorial arrangement based on completely randomized design with four replications.
