La melatonina (N-acetil-5-metoxitriptamina) es una molécula con una reportada importancia en el incremento de la tolerancia a varios tipos de estrés. El presente estudio investiga el efecto del tratamiento de semillas de melón (Cucumis melo L.) con soluciones de melatonina (0, 10, 50 y 100 μM) en dos duraciones (6 y 12 h) sobre la germinación y el crecimiento inicial de plantas de melón en estrés salino. La germinación bajo estrés salino (14 dS m-1 CE) experimentó una disminución, la cual se revirtió luego del tratamiento de las semillas con melatonina, llegando al 80% con soluciones 10 y 50 μM. Luego, considerando las plantas creciendo en estrés salino (8 dS m-1 CE), se obtuvieron las mejores respuestas de crecimiento y fisiológicas y bioquímicas (potencial hídrico del xilema, contenido hídrico relativo de las hojas, clorofila total, viabilidad de las raíces, prolina, contenido de malondialdehído, actividad peroxidasa y catalasa) en plantas provenientes del tratamiento de semillas con 50 μM. No se observaron cambios a nivel anatómico. Los resultados sugieren que la melatonina puede aliviar el efecto del estrés salino durante la germinación de las semillas y el crecimiento temprano de las plantas. Hay una respuesta dosis dependiente.
