Melatonin regulates gene expressions through activating auxin synthesis and signaling pathways.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both melatonin and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) are derived from tryptophan. And the most interesting and unsolved puzzle in melatonin research is that what is the relationship between melatonin and auxin?

Methods

In this study, we performed transcriptome analysis with a time series method to disclose the connection of the two metabolites in soybean.

Results

Our results reveal that melatonin and IAA treatments cause substantial overlaps in gene expression changes. Common genes of melatonin and IAA treatments could be sorted into clusters with very similar expression tendency. A KEGG assay showed that exogenous applied melatonin enriched differentially expressed genes in auxin biosynthesis and signaling pathways. For details, melatonin up-regulates several
