Journal Article
Ocvirk, D., Špoljarević, M., Kristić, M., Hancock, J. T., Teklić, T., & Lisjak, M. (2021). The effects of seed priming with sodium hydrosulphide on drought tolerance of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) in germination and early growth. Annals of Applied Biology, 178(2), 400-413. https://doi.org/10.1111/aab.12658

© 2020 Association of Applied Biologists Sunflower seeds (hybrid Luka) were primed with water (hydropriming) or sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS) solutions (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mM NaHS) and subsequently dried to initial moisture content. Unprimed (contro... Read More about The effects of seed priming with sodium hydrosulphide on drought tolerance of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) in germination and early growth.

Hydrogenases and the role of molecular hydrogen in plants (2020)
Journal Article
Russell, G., Zulfiqar, F., & Hancock, J. T. (2020). Hydrogenases and the role of molecular hydrogen in plants. Plants, 9(9), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.3390/plants9091136

Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been suggested to be a beneficial treatment for a range of species, from humans to plants. Hydrogenases catalyze the reversible oxidation of H2, and are found in many organisms, including plants. One of the cellular effect...

Hydrogen sulfide in horticulture: Emerging roles in the era of climate change (2020)
Journal Article
Zulfiqar, F., & Hancock, J. T. (2020). Hydrogen sulfide in horticulture: Emerging roles in the era of climate change. Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 155, 667-675. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.plaphy.2020.08.010

Future climate change will present many plants with environmental challenges, including extreme temperatures and drought. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as an important signal transmitting molecule in plants, especially important in many stress r...

Nitric oxide, other reactive signalling compounds, redox, and reductive stress (2020)
Journal Article
Hancock, J., & Veal, D. (2021). Nitric oxide, other reactive signalling compounds, redox, and reductive stress. Journal of Experimental Botany, 72(3), 819-829. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/eraa331

Nitric oxide (NO) and other reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are key signalling molecules in plants, but they do not work in isolation. NO is produced in cells, often increased in response to stress conditions, but many other reactive compounds used i...

An overview of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and the importance of molecular hydrogen as an adjunctive therapy (2020)
Journal Article
Russell, G., Rehman, M., LeBaron, T. W., Veal, D., Adukwu, E., & Hancock, J. (2020). An overview of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and the importance of molecular hydrogen as an adjunctive therapy. Reactive Oxygen Species, 10(28), 150–165

SARS-CoV-2 is an emerging β-coronavirus that causes COVID-19 disease that manifests primarily as a pulmonary infection that can rapidly progress into severe and acute respiratory distress in susceptible patients. Initial reports of severe pulmonary i... Read More about An overview of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection and the importance of molecular hydrogen as an adjunctive therapy.

Regulating the regulator: nitric oxide control of post-translational modifications (2020)
Journal Article
Gupta, K. J., Kolbert, Z., Durner, J., Lindermayr, C., Corpas, F. J., Brouquisse, R., …Loake, G. J. (2020). Regulating the regulator: nitric oxide control of post-translational modifications. New Phytologist, 227(5), 1319-1325. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16622

Nitric oxide (NO) is perfectly suited for the role of a redox signalling molecule. A key route for NO bioactivity occurs via protein S-nitrosation, and involves the addition of a NO moiety to a protein cysteine (Cys) thiol (–SH) to form an S-nitrosot...

Is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase a central redox mediator? (2020)
Journal Article
Russell, G., Veal, D., & Hancock, J. T. (2020). Is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase a central redox mediator?. Reactive Oxygen Species, 9(26), 48-69

D-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is an immensely important enzyme carrying out a vital step in glycolysis and is found in all living organisms. Although there are several isoforms identified in many species, it is now recognized tha... Read More about Is glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase a central redox mediator?.
