Journal Article
Zulfiqar, F., Moosa, A., Darras, A., Nafees, M., Ashraf, M., Al-Ashkar, I., …Hancock, J. T. (2024). Preharvest application of hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide improves floral traits and postharvest performance of cut gladiolus inflorescences. Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 43, 1153–1165. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00344-023-11173-y

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
Silveira, N. M., Hancock, J., Machado, E. C., & Ribeiro, R. V. (2023). H2S priming and plant abiotic stress tolerance. In Plant Gasotransmiitters and Molecules with Hormonal Activity (245-262). Elsevier Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-323-99035-6.00008-7

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
Ziogas, V., Hancock, J. T., & Corpas, F. J. (2024). Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species cellular crosstalk. In Oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species in post-harvest physiology of horticultural crops (247-271). Elsevier Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-323-91798-8.00001-1

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
Hancock, J. T., LeBaron, T. W., May, J., Thomas, A., Zulfiqar, F., & Russell, G. (2024). Molecular hydrogen as a beneficial postharvest treatment. In V. Ziogas, & F. J. Corpas (Eds.), Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulfur Species in Post-Harvest Physiology of Horticultural Crops (303-318). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-323-91798-8.00011-4

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
Russell, G., Thomas, A. D., Nenov, A., Mannings, G., & Hancock, J. T. (2023). The therapeutic potential of oxyhydrogen gas in oncology: A study on Epstein–Barr Virus-immortalised B-lymphoblastoid (TK6) cells. Hydrogen, 4(4), 746-759. https://doi.org/10.3390/hydrogen4040047

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.
