Effects of exogenous melatonin application on photosynthetic apparatus under UV stress.

Stress Crop Effects on Photosynthesis Reference
UV radiation Arabidopsis Upregulated the genes encoding for ascorbate peroxidase and catalase, lowered lipid peroxidation and increased the Fv/Fm value [108,109]
Rosemay Increased the activity of SOD, CAT and POD, and the accumulation of total phenols [110]
