Effects of melatonin (5 μM) on (A-B) the overall growth, (C) leaf size and (D) fresh weight, leaf area, leaf number, shoot height and root length of L. bicolor seedlings subjected to 300 mM NaCl for 15 days. Values are mean ± standard deviation of five biological replicates. Bars labeled with different letters are significantly different at P < 0.05 according to Duncan’s multiple range tests. 0 mM NaCl, plants cultivated with only Hoagland nutrient solution; 0 mM NaCl + 5 μM MT, plants cultivated with Hoagland nutrient solution plus 5 μM melatonin; 300 mM NaCl, plants cultivated with Hoagland nutrient solution plus 300 mM NaCl; 300 mM NaCl + 5 μM MT, plants cultivated with Hoagland nutrient solution plus 300 mM NaCl and 5 μM melatonin
