Hydrogen sulfide upregulates the alternative respiratory pathway in mangrove plant Avicennia marina to attenuate waterlogging-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage in a calcium-dependent manner.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) is considered to mediate plant growth and development. However, whether H2 S regulates the adaptation of mangrove plant to intertidal flooding habitats is not well understood. In this study, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) was used as an H2 S donor to investigate the effect of H2 S on the responses of mangrove plant Avicennia marina to waterlogging. The results showed that 24-h waterlogging increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell death in roots. Excessive mitochondrial ROS accumulation is highly oxidative and leads to mitochondrial structural and functional damage. However, the application of NaHS counteracted the oxidative damage caused by waterlogging. The mitochondrial ROS production was reduced by H2 S through increasing the expressions of the alternative oxidase genes and increasing the proportion of alternative respiratory pathway in the total mitochondrial respiration. Secondly, H2 S enhanced the capacity of the antioxidant system. Meanwhile, H2 S induced Ca2+ influx and activated the expression of intracellular Ca2+ -sensing-related genes. In addition, the alleviating effect of H2 S on waterlogging can be reversed by Ca2+ chelator and Ca2+ channel blockers. In conclusion, this study provides the first evidence to explain the role of H2 S in waterlogging adaptation in mangrove plants from the mitochondrial aspect.

Abstract
In vegetation management, understanding the condition of submerged plants is usually based on long-term growth monitoring. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulate in organelles under environmental stress and are highly likely to be indicators of a plant's condition. However, this depends on the period of exposure to environmental stress, as environmental conditions are always changing in nature. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the most common ROS in organelles. The responses of submerged macrophytes, Egeria densa, to high light and iron (Fe) stressors were investigated by both laboratory experiments and natural river observation. Plants were incubated with combinations of 30-200 μmol m-2 s-1 of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) intensity and 0-10 mg L-1 Fe concentration in the media. We have measured H2O2, photosynthetic pigment concentrations, chlorophyll a (Chl-a), chlorophyll b (Chl-b), carotenoid (CAR), Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) concentrations of leaf tissues, the antioxidant activity of catalase (CAT), ascorbic peroxidase (APX), peroxidase (POD), the maximal quantum yield of PSII (Fv Fm -1), and the shoot growth rate (SGR). The H2O2 concentration gradually increased with Fe concentration in the media, except at very low concentrations and at an increased PAR intensity. However, with extremely high PAR or Fe concentrations, first the chlorophyll contents and then the H2O2 concentration prominently declined, followed by SGR, the maximal quantum yield of PSII (Fv Fm -1), and antioxidant activities. With an increasing Fe concentration in the substrate, the CAT and APX antioxidant levels decreased, which led to an increase in H2O2 accumulation in the plant tissues. Moreover, increased POD activity was proportionate to H2O2 accumulation, suggesting the low-Fe independent nature of POD. Diurnally, H2O2 concentration varies following the PAR variation. However, the CAT and APX antioxidant activities were delayed, which increased the H2O2 concentration level in the afternoon compared with the level in morning for the same PAR intensities. Similar trends were also obtained for the natural river samples where relatively low light intensity was preferable for growth. Together with our previous findings on macrophyte stress responses, these results indicate that H2O2 concentration is a good indicator of environmental stressors and could be used instead of long-term growth monitoring in macrophyte management.

Abstract
Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) have been increasingly released in aquatic ecosystems over the past decades as they are used in many applications. Cu toxicity to different organisms has already been highlighted in the literature, however toxicity mechanisms of the nanoparticulate form remain unclear. Here, we investigated the effect, transfer and localization of CuO-NPs compared to Cu salt on the aquatic plant Myriophyllum spicatum, an ecotoxicological model species with a pivotal role in freshwater ecosystems, to establish a clear mode of action. Plants were exposed to 0.5 mg/L Cu salt, 5 and 70 mg/L CuO-NPs during 96 h and 10 days. Several morphological and physiological endpoints were measured. Cu salt was found more toxic than CuO-NPs to plants based on all the measured endpoints despite a similar internal Cu concentration demonstrated via Cu mapping by micro particle-induced X-ray emission (μPIXE) coupled to Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS). Biomacromolecule composition investigated by FTIR converged between 70 mg/L CuO-NPs and Cu salt treatments after 10 days. This demonstrates that the difference of toxicity comes from a sudden massive Cu2+ addition from Cu salt similar to an acute exposure, versus a progressive leaching of Cu2+ from CuO-NPs representing a chronic exposure. Understanding NP toxicity mechanisms can help in the future conception of safer by design NPs and thus diminishing their impact on both the environment and humans.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is considered the third gas signal molecule in recent years. A large number of studies have shown that H2S not only played an important role in animals but also participated in the regulation of plant growth and development and responses to various environmental stresses. Waterlogging, as a kind of abiotic stress, poses a serious threat to land-based waterlogging-sensitive plants, and which H2S plays an indispensable role in response to. In this review, we summarized that H2S improves resistance to waterlogging stress by affecting lateral root development, photosynthetic efficiency, and cell fates. Here, we reviewed the roles of H2S in plant resistance to waterlogging stress, focusing on the mechanism of its promotion to gained hypoxia tolerance. Finally, we raised relevant issues that needed to be addressed.

Abstract
Egeria densa is an often-found invasive species in Japan, which has spread widely in the past two decades in rivers where no macrophytes had previously been found. As a result, these ecosystems have now become dominated by E. densa. The habitat preference for E. densa colony formation was investigated using the tissue concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2: a reactive oxygen species) under varying conditions in rivers and laboratory conditions. The empirical equations that can describe the macrophyte tissue H2O2 formation under various velocity and light conditions were produced. The H2O2 concentrations of dark-adapted plants are proportional to the flow velocity, and the surplus H2O2 concentration in the light-exposed condition corresponded to the photosystems produced H2O2. When the H2O2 concentration exceeds 16 μmol/gFW, plant tissue starts to deteriorate, and biomass declines, indicating the critical values required for long-term survival of the plant. The empirically obtained relationships between flow velocity or light intensity and the analysis of H2O2 concentration for different slopes and depths of channels found that the H2O2 value exceeds the critical H2O2 concentration in channels with above 1/100 at around 0.6 m depth. This agrees with the observed results where colonies were not found in channels with slopes exceeding 1/100, and biomass concentration was the largest at depths of 0.6 to 0.8 m. H2O2 concentration is quite applicable to understanding the macrophyte condition in various kinds of macrophyte management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Submerged plants composed of charophytes (green algae) and angiosperms develop dense vegetation in small, shallow lakes and in littoral zones of large lakes. Many small, oligotrophic plant species have declined due to drainage and fertilization of lakes, while some tall, eutrophic species have increased. Although plant distribution has been thoroughly studied, the physiochemical dynamics and biological challenges in plant-dominated lakes have been grossly understudied, even though they may offer the key to species persistence. SCOPE Small plant-dominated lakes function as natural field laboratories with eco-physiological processes in dense vegetation dictating extreme environmental variability, intensive photosynthesis and carbon cycling. Those processes can be quantified on a whole lake basis at high temporal resolution by continuously operating sensors for light, temperature, oxygen, etc. We explore this hitherto hidden world. CONCLUSIONS Dense plant canopies attenuate light and wind-driven turbulence and generate separation between warm surface water and colder bottom waters. Daytime vertical stratification becomes particularly strong in dense charophyte vegetation, but stratification is a common feature in small, shallow lakes also without plants. Surface cooling at night induces mixing of the water column. Daytime stratification in plant stands may induce hypoxia or anoxia in dark bottom waters by respiration, while surface waters develop oxygen supersaturation by photosynthesis. Intensive photosynthesis and calcification in shallow charophyte lakes depletes dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in surface waters, whereas DIC is replenished by respiration and carbonate dissolution in bottom waters and returned to surface waters before sunrise. Extreme diel changes in temperature, DIC and oxygen in dense vegetation can induce extensive rhythmicity of photosynthesis and respiration and become a severe challenge to the survival of organisms. Large phosphorus pools are bound in plant tissue and carbonate precipitates. Future studies should test the importance of this phosphorus sink for ecosystem processes and competition between phytoplankton and plants.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is recognized as the third endogenous gasotransmitter in plants after nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Though initially visualized as a toxic gaseous molecule, recent studies have illustrated its diverse role in regulating plant growth and developmental physiology. H2S is also a potent inducer of osmolytes and cellular antioxidants of enzymatic and non-enzymatic origins. It interacts with the Ca2+ and NO signaling pathways. Exogenous fumigation of H2S or application of the H2S donor, sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS) has been found to be beneficial in the amelioration of multiple abiotic stresses like salinity, drought, temperature, hypoxia and heavy metal toxicity. H2S also protects stress-sensitive proteins via persulphidation of cysteine residues, prone to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidation. It is well established that plants are highly dependent on phytohormone signaling during any physiological process. By virtue of the diversity of the H2S-mediated signaling network, interactions and crosstalks of this gasotransmitter with the plant hormones are evident. This article presents a detailed summary regarding the role of H2S in oxidative and environmental stress tolerance; and furthermore illustrates the reported interactions with crucial hormones like abscisic acid, auxins, gibberellic acid, ethylene and salicylic acid under physiologically differing circumstances.

Invasive Macrophytes Control the Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen in a Shallow Lake: A Proposed Feedback Mechanism of Macrophyte Loss.

Abstract
Submerged macrophytes can have a profound effect on shallow lake ecosystems through their ability to modify the thermal structure and dissolved oxygen levels within the lake. Invasive macrophytes, in particular, can grow rapidly and induce thermal gradients in lakes that may substantially change the ecosystem structure and challenge the survival of aquatic organisms. We performed fine-scale measurements and 3D numerical modeling at high spatiotemporal resolution to assess the effect of the seasonal growth of Potamogeton crispus L. on the spatial and temporal dynamics of temperature and dissolved oxygen in a shallow urban lake (Lake Monger, Perth, WA, Australia). Daytime stratification developed during the growing season and was clearly observed throughout the macrophyte bed. At all times measured, stratification was stronger at the center of the macrophyte bed compared to the bed edges. By fitting a logistic growth curve to changes in plant height over time (r2 = 0.98), and comparing this curve to temperature data at the center of the macrophyte bed, we found that stratification began once the macrophytes occupied at least 50% of the water depth. This conclusion was strongly supported by a 3D hydrodynamic model fitted to weekly temperature profiles measured at four time periods throughout the growing season (r2 > 0.78 at all times). As the macrophyte height increased and stratification developed, dissolved oxygen concentration profiles changed from vertically homogeneous oxic conditions during both the day and night to expression of night-time anoxic conditions close to the sediments. Spatially interpolated maps of dissolved oxygen and 3D numerical modeling results indicated that the plants also reduced horizontal exchange with surrounding unvegetated areas, preventing flushing of low dissolved oxygen water out of the center of the bed. Simultaneously, aerial imagery showed central dieback occurring toward the end of the growing season. Thus, we hypothesized that stratification-induced anoxia can lead to accelerated P. crispus dieback in this region, causing formation of a ring-shaped pattern in spatial macrophyte distribution. Overall, our study demonstrates that submerged macrophytes can alter the thermal characteristics and oxygen levels within shallow lakes and thus create challenging conditions for maximizing their spatial coverage.
