Relative transcript abundance of genes involved in wax biosynthesis in tomato plants treated with or without melatonin. (A) KCS1; (B) TTS1; (C) CER3; (D) LTP1. Results were presented as fold change relative to control plants sprayed with distilled water. The relative transcript abundance was determined by quantitative real-time PCR. At the five-leaf stage, tomato plants were sprayed either with 100 μM melatonin or distilled water one time a day on three consecutive days, and then, plants were deprived of water for 10 days. Leaf samples were collected from different groups of plants at Day 10 following water deprivation. The values presented are the means ± SDs (n = 3). Different letters indicate significant differences at p < 0.05 among treatments.
