Fig. 11From: Melatonin alleviates heat-induced damage of tomato seedlings by balancing redox homeostasis and modulating polyamine and nitric oxide biosynthesisThe schematic representation of possible mechanism of melatonin mediated high temperature stress tolerance in tomato seedlings via the PAs and NO biosynthesis pathway. PAs: polyamines; ADC: arginine decarboxylase; ODC: ornithine decarboxylase; SPDS: spermidine synthase; SPMS: spermine synthase; SAMDC: s-adenosyl methionine decarboxylase; PAO: polyamine oxidase; NO: Nitric oxide; NR: nitrate reductase; NOS: nitric oxide synthase; ROS: reactive oxygen species; H2O2: hydrogen peroxide; O2•−: superoxide anion; RBOH: Respiratory burst oxidase; HSFA2: heat shock transcription factors A2; HSP90: heat shock protein 90Back to article page
