Exogenous Melatonin Alleviates the Inhibitory Effect of NaHCO₃ on Tomato Growth by Regulating the Root pH Value and Promoting Plant Photosynthesis

Soil salinity is a severe threat to agricultural production. Most saline soils turn alkaline, increasing the soil pH and, in turn, hampering the growth and development of crops. In this study, the effects of a foliar spray of melatonin (MT; 100 μmol·L⁻¹) on the pH of the root...
