Heavy metal (HM) toxicity has become a global concern in recent years and is imposing a
severe threat to the environment and human health. In the case of plants, a higher …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) was initially recognized as a toxic gas and its biological functions
in mammalian cells have been gradually discovered during the past decades. In the latest …

Rice grains typically contain high levels of toxic arsenic but low levels of the essential
micronutrient selenium. Anthropogenic arsenic contamination of paddy soils exacerbates …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has emerged as a potential gasotransmitter in plants with a
beneficial role in stress amelioration. Despite the various known functions of H 2 S in plants …

The accumulation of toxic metals and metalloids, such as cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), or
arsenic (As), as a consequence of various anthropogenic activities, poses a serious threat to …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a well-studied regulator of stomatal movement. Hydrogen sulfide
(H2S), a small signaling gas molecule involved in key physiological processes in mammals …

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) has great relevance considering the substantial
commercial potential of its essential oil. Nevertheless, the increasing soil salinity poses an …

Cysteine (Cys) occupies a central position in plant metabolism due to its biochemical
functions. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) cells contain different O-acetylserine (thiol) …

A variety of mechanisms have been proposed to account for the extension of life span in
seeds (seed longevity). In this work, we used Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seeds as a …

Cysteine occupies a central position in plant metabolism because it is a reduced sulfur
donor molecule involved in the synthesis of essential biomolecules and defense …
