A proposed model illustrating the roles of exogenous melatonin in regulating polyamine metabolism in response to salt stress. Exogenous melatonin induces the biosynthesis of endogenous melatonin. Increased melatonin further accelerated the metabolic flow from the precursors amino acids arginine and methionine to polyamines; melatonin also decreased the degradation of salt-induced polyamines by suppressing the polyamine oxidase (PAO) and diamine oxidase (DAO) activities. Increased PAs further improve tolerance to abiotic stress in wheat seedlings. Abs, Amino butanals.
