Abstract

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) in plants is to act as an antioxidant providing protection against environmental agents. In our study, we used different concentration of melatonin (control, 50 μM, 100 μM and 200 μM) to investigate the effect of melatonin on antioxidant system under low light. The results suggested melatonin has strong antioxidant ability to effectively scavenge H2O2 and reduce relative electrical conductivity (REC). The 100μM and 200 μM group had a significant effect. Moreover, melatonin also activated peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) compared to control group. In general, 200 μM melatonin had the mostly significant effect on protecting antioxidant system.
