Summary: Hydrogen sulfide and melatonin play important roles in regulating stomatal closure and enhancing osmotic stress resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana. Their crosstalk involves increasing transcription levels of melatonin synthesis-related genes and sulfhydryl modification of enzymes to promote stomatal closure under osmotic stress conditions. This study provides insights into the functions and interactions of hydrogen sulfide and melatonin in response to osmotic stress.

Summary: This study investigated the roles of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and melatonin (MEL) in enhancing plant drought resistance and their regulatory mechanisms. The results showed that exogenous MEL increased H2S production and transcription levels of H2S production-related genes. MEL and H2S also affected the transcription levels of drought-related transcription factors and K+ channel-related genes to regulate stomatal movement. At the post-translational level, H2S increased the persulfidation levels of certain proteins and reduced their degradation rate. It was concluded that H2S mediated the MEL-induced stoma closure to enhance plant drought resistance in Arabidopsis.

Summary: Water stress can have a severe impact on plant growth, productivity, and yield. Plants have evolved various strategies, such as the modulation of abscisic acid (ABA) levels, to respond and adapt to stress. This study investigated the role of XER, a stress-responsive RING E3 ubiquitin ligase, in stress response. The results showed that XER plays a crucial role in promoting drought tolerance. The study also revealed the interaction between XER and CBF4, a negative regulator of ABA responses, stomatal development, and drought tolerance.

Summary: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) play important roles in regulating stomatal movements in plants. Melatonin induces stomatal closure through the activation of ROS production via phytomelatonin receptor 1 (PMTR1). The study shows that the melatonin-induced stomatal closure and NO production are dependent on each other, and both are affected by the presence of ROS. These results suggest that melatonin-mediated stomatal closure in Arabidopsis involves the interplay between ROS and NO.

Summary: This study reveals the mechanisms of microbial volatile compounds (mVCs)-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis. It shows that mVCs from Enterobacter aerogenes enhance ROS production in guard cells and that ROS is involved in stomatal closure. It also identifies two stages of signal transduction during mVC-induced stomatal closure, suggesting a multi-phase mechanism in plant immune responses.

Summary: GhMYB44 gene plays a crucial role in plant response to abiotic stress, but its function in cotton is not well understood. In this study, GhMYB44 was induced by drought and ABA treatment in cotton. Silencing GhMYB44 resulted in physiological changes, including increased malondialdehyde content and decreased SOD activity. The silenced plants also exhibited increased stomatal aperture, water loss rate, and decreased drought tolerance.

Summary: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) produced by d-cysteine desulfhydrase (DCD) enhances plant tolerance to abiotic stress by promoting auxin homeostasis, thereby alleviating osmotic stress-mediated inhibition of root growth. Under osmotic stress, DCD gene and protein expression, as well as H2S production, are up-regulated in roots. The overexpression of DCD leads to increased auxin accumulation and longer roots, while a dcd mutant exhibits increased sensitivity to osmotic stress and inhibited root growth. H2S treatment alleviates osmotic stress-mediated inhibition of auxin signaling by promoting auxin biosynthesis and the protein level of the auxin efflux carrier PIN-FORMED 1 (PIN1).

Summary: This study showed that Oridonin induces stomatal closure and increases the expression levels of GPA1 and PLD alpha 1. Oridonin increases H2O2 accumulation in guard cells by inhibiting antioxidant enzymes, leading to the upregulation of the positive regulatory gene OST1 for stomatal closure. Both PLD alpha 1 and GPA1 are involved in Oridonin-induced stomatal closure, with PLD alpha 1 acting downstream of GPA1.

Summary: Hydrogen gas MAP can prolong the shelf life of chicken eggs by slowing down the reduction in antioxidant capacities, alleviating egg quality deterioration, reducing micro-cracks in eggshell, and making eggs less vulnerable to microbes. The cost-economics analysis suggests that the increase in extra cost caused by H-2 is trivial compared to the original price of eggs.
