© 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...
