Physiological Function and Mechanism of Hydrogen Sulfide in Plants

doi:10.11983/CBB17099

Abstract

Abstract: Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is the third gas signaling molecule after nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) and is of great importance in many physiological activities in plants. H₂S can promote plant photosynthesis, alleviate various stresses and promote plant growth and development. However, functional research of H₂S in plants is relatively scarce. This article summarizes the latest research of the physicochemical properties, main physiological functions and mechanism of H₂S and the interaction with other signaling molecules. Future prospects of H₂S signaling are discussed.

Key words: hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), signal molecule, physiological function, mechanism
