Melatonin has been detected in a number of plant species evidenced that this classically-considered animal indole is actually both synthesized in and taken up by the plants. Phytomelatonin have been found in a variety of plant species and is known to act as antioxidant, growth promoter and to regulate photoperiodic responses and reproductive physiology in plants. Synthesis of melatonin in plants follows the pattern as in animals suggesting that the function of phytomelatonin might be analogous to animals as in plants. According to recent literatures, melatonin enhances the immunomodulatory function of different immune cells via secretion of activation signals i.e. cytokines, lymphokines, or more specifically interleukins. The purpose of this review is to encompass the interactions between cells of the immune system and understanding the root of immune deficiencies, and perceive potential avenues that the immune system can be modulated by melatonin/ phytomelatonin in the case of specific diseases for betterment of health.
