Abstract: Melatonin is a kind of indoleamine compound that is widely existed in organism. In animal, melatonin acts as a health care product for human and plays a role in the regulation of circadian rhythm, improving immunity and anti-aging. Melatonin has been detected in a number of plant species up to now. And the biosynthesis pathway of melatonin includes L-tryptophane, tryptamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine. The key enzymes involving melatonin biosynthesis have been detected in plants, including L-tryptophan decarboxylase (TrpDC), tryptophan hydroxylase (T5H), serotonin-N- acetyltransferase (SNAcT), 5-serotonin-N-acetyltransferase (AcSNMT) and hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase (HIOMT). The roles of melatonin in the horticultural crops kingdom are not clear enough. In recent years, several studies showed that melatonin has roles in regulating the growth of plants, increasing yield, activating seed germination, regulating photoperiod, regulating rhizogenesis, delaying leaf senescence, influencing fruit ripening and storage. The antioxidant properties of melatonin would seem to explain, at least partially, its ability to fortify plants reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging that subjected to stresses, such as light, temperature, water, saline-alkali, heavy metal and oxidative stress. In addition, melatonin also involves some signaling transduction pathways including auxin (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA), abscisic acid (ABA), ethene (ETH), salicylic acid (SA), polyamine (PAs) and nitric oxide (NO), which form a complicated signaling network of growth, development and stress tolerance in horticultural crops. Recent data on five fields of “the biosynthesis of melatonin in plants, the melatonin of horticultural crops and influence factor for their melatonin content; roles of melatonin in growth and development of horticultural crops; roles of melatonin in stress response of horticultural crops, signal transduction network of melatonin in plant growth, development and stress tolerance” were reviewed in this paper. And the values of melatonin in horticultural industry were also forecasted. This review presented a summary of the investigations in the plant melatonin field, and the potential functions of increasing melatonin content in horticultural crops were also predicted.
