Preharvest application of hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide improves floral traits and postharvest performance of cut gladiolus inflorescences (2023)
Journal Article

Gladiolus is a well-known bulbous plant producing impressive cut spikes. Hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide are vital signaling molecules for the proper functioning of plant metabolism. Preharvest applications of these molecules to crops have gained a...

H2S priming and plant abiotic stress tolerance (2023)
Book Chapter

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an emerging multitasking signaling molecule involved in plant responses to many abiotic stresses, promoting tolerance and growth under limiting conditions. There is experimental evidence of cross talk between H2S and nitric... Read More about H2S priming and plant abiotic stress tolerance.

Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species cellular crosstalk (2023)
Book Chapter

Accumulating data highlight the fact that nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as intercellular key signaling molecules in plants. These molecules act in a well-orchestrated manner that regulates cells redo... Read More about Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species cellular crosstalk.

Molecular hydrogen as a beneficial postharvest treatment (2023)
Book Chapter

Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been shown to have significant effects in plants, especially during stress responses. H2 treatment can be used as a gas or as an H2-enriched solution, often termed hydrogen-rich water (HRW). Cellular effects of H2 are ofte...

The therapeutic potential of oxyhydrogen gas in oncology: A study on Epstein–Barr Virus-immortalised B-lymphoblastoid (TK6) cells (2023)
Journal Article

Cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. B-cells are a keystone of the adaptive immune response and are essential for the presentation of tumor-associated antigens to various types of T-cells. Approximately 1.5% of global cancer cases, inclu... Read More about The therapeutic potential of oxyhydrogen gas in oncology: A study on Epstein–Barr Virus-immortalised B-lymphoblastoid (TK6) cells.

Nanotechnology improves disease resistance in plants for food security: Applications and challenges (2023)
Journal Article

Green synthesis of nano-fertilizers is emerging as a potential strategy and could play a crucial role in disease mitigation, diagnosis, or suppression. Different nanoscale devices (nanoparticles, NPs), biosensors, nano-diagnostic kits, nanofabricatio...

Are protein cavities and pockets commonly used by redox active signalling molecules? (2023)
Journal Article

It has been well known for a long time that inert gases, such as xenon (Xe), have significant biological effects. As these atoms are extremely unlikely to partake in direct chemical reactions with biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic ac...

Hydrogen incorporation into solvents can improve the extraction of phenolics, ‎flavonoids, anthocyanins, and antioxidants: A case-study using red beetroot (2023)
Journal Article

Different methods are used for extracting phytochemicals from plant produce. Some ‎methods require sophisticated and expensive instruments, while others need multiple steps ‎and specialist equipment, leading to an increase in energy, solvents, cost,... Read More about Hydrogen incorporation into solvents can improve the extraction of phenolics, ‎flavonoids, anthocyanins, and antioxidants: A case-study using red beetroot.

Why Elephants Cry: How Observing Unusual Animal Behaviours Can Predict the Weather (and other Environmental Phenomena) (2023)
Book

Why Elephants Cry is a fascinating frolic through the literature and evidence surrounding the use of unusual behavior of animals to measure and predict the environment. The role of animals, from the smallest ant to the biggest elephant, as predictors...

The on/off history of hydrogen in medicine: Will the interest persist this time around? (2023)
Journal Article

Over 2000 publications including more than 100 human studies seem to indicate that humans have only recently benefited from or known about the medical effects of H2 within the past 15 years. However, we have unknowingly benefited from H2 since the da... Read More about The on/off history of hydrogen in medicine: Will the interest persist this time around?.

The early history of hydrogen and other gases in respiration and biological systems: Revisiting Beddoes, Cavallo, and Davy (2023)
Journal Article

In 2007 a paper in Nature Medicine sparked a new wave of interest in the use of molecular hydrogen (H2) for medical treatments. Since then there has been a flurry of papers looking at a range of medical aspects, from neurodegenerative disease to spor...

The genetic and biochemical mechanisms underlying cereal seed dormancy (2023)
Journal Article

The crop seeds have been a staple food for humans, and seed yield is important for sustaining agriculture development and enhancing human adaptability to food risks. The phenomenon of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), caused by seed dormancy deficiency, a... Read More about The genetic and biochemical mechanisms underlying cereal seed dormancy.
