Melatonin plays a dual role in living organisms. It is an antioxidant, and it is also a hormone that regulates various physiological processes. This regulation occurs primarily through receptors, which in animals are represented by membrane receptors of a typical structure, as well as minor receptors, the role of which is under discussion. The discovery of the melatonin receptor in plants is an important milestone in the study of this regulator.
