Exogenous melatonin improves glutathione content, redox state and increases essential oil production in two Salvia species under drought stress

Abstract This research was conducted to understand the influence of foliar applied melatonin (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 μM) on two Salvia species (Salvia nemorosa L., and Salvia reuterana Boiss) under conditions of water stress. Water stress was applied using a reduced irrigation strategy based on re-...
