Nitric oxide affects melatonin mediates enrichment of isoflavones and physiological biochemistry in germinated soybeans under Ultraviolet-B stress
The role of nitric oxide (NO) in exogenous melatonin (MT)-induced isoflavone accumulation under ultraviolet-B (UV-B) stress in germinated soybeans was investigated. Compared to UV-B stress alone, exogenous MT ...
