Melatonin acts synergistically with auxin to promote lateral root development through fine tuning auxin transport in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) plays important roles in plant developmental growth, especially in root architecture. The similarity in both chemical structure and biosynthetic pathway suggests a potential linkage between melatonin and auxin signaling. However the molecular mechanism regula...
