Abstract
In this study, canola (Brassica napus L.) seedlings were treated with individual and combined salinity and lithium (Li) stress, with and without acetic acid (AA) or nitric acid (NO), to investigate their possible roles against these stresses. Salinity intensified Li-induced damage, and the principal component analysis revealed that this was primarily driven by increased oxidative stress, deregulation of sodium and potassium accumulation, and an imbalance in tissue water content. However, pretreatment with AA and NO prompted growth, re-established sodium and potassium homeostasis, and enhanced the defense system against oxidative and nitrosative damage by triggering the antioxidant capacity. Combined stress negatively impacted phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity, affecting flavonoids, carotenoids, and anthocyanin levels, which were then restored in canola plants primed with AA and NO. Additionally, AA and NO helped to maintain osmotic balance by increasing trehalose and proline levels and upregulating signaling molecules such as hydrogen sulfide, γ-aminobutyric acid, and salicylic acid. Both AA and NO improved Li detoxification by increasing phytochelatins and metallothioneins, and reducing glutathione contents. Comparatively, AA exerted more effective protection against the detrimental effects of combined stress than NO. Our findings offer novel perspectives on the impacts of combining salt and Li stress.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), the third gasotransmitter, has positive roles in animals and plants. Mitochondria are the source and the target of H2S and the regulatory hub in metabolism, stress, and disease. Mitochondrial bioenergetics is a vital process that produces ATP and provides energy to support the physiological and biochemical processes. H2S regulates mitochondrial bioenergetic functions and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The article summarizes the recent knowledge of the chemical and biological characteristics, the mitochondrial biosynthesis of H2S, and the regulatory effects of H2S on the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. The roles of H2S on the tricarboxylic acid cycle and mitochondrial respiratory complexes in mammals have been widely studied. The biological function of H2S is now a hot topic in plants. Mitochondria are also vital organelles regulating plant processes. The regulation of H2S in plant mitochondrial functions is gaining more and more attention. This paper mainly summarizes the current knowledge on the regulatory effects of H2S on the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and the mitochondrial respiratory chain. A study of the roles of H2S in mitochondrial respiration in plants to elucidate the botanical function of H2S in plants would be highly desirable.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a critical molecule that links plant development with stress responses. Herein, new insights into the role of NO metabolism during leaf senescence in Arabidopsis are presented. A gradual decrease in NO emission accompanied dark-induced leaf senescence (DILS), and a transient wave of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) formation was detected by day 3 of DILS. The boosted ONOO- did not promote tryptophan (Trp) nitration, while the pool of 6-nitroTrp-containing proteins was depleted as senescence progressed. Immunoprecipitation combined with mass spectrometry was used to identify 63 and 4 characteristic 6-nitroTrp-containing proteins in control and individually darkened leaves, respectively. The potential in vivo targets of Trp nitration were mainly related to protein biosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. In contrast, nitration of tyrosine-containing proteins was intensified 2-fold on day 3 of DILS. Also, nitrative modification of RNA and DNA increased significantly on days 3 and 7 of DILS, respectively. Taken together, ONOO- can be considered a novel pro-senescence regulator that fine-tunes the redox environment for selective bio-target nitration. Thus, DILS-triggered nitrative changes at RNA and protein levels promote developmental shifts during the plant's lifespan and temporal adjustment in plant metabolism under suboptimal environmental conditions.

Abstract
Horticultural products display fast senescence after harvest at ambient temperatures, resulting in decreased quality and shorter shelf life. As a gaseous signal molecule, nitric oxide (NO) has an important physiological effect on plants. Specifically, in the area of NO and its regulation of postharvest senescence, tremendous progress has been made. This review summarizes NO synthesis; the effect of NO in alleviating postharvest senescence; the mechanism of NO-alleviated senescence; and its interactions with other signaling molecules, such as ethylene (ETH), abscisic acid (ABA), melatonin (MT), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen gas (H2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and calcium ions (Ca2+). The aim of this review is to provide theoretical references for the application of NO in postharvest senescence in horticultural products.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a gaseous signalling molecule and is considered to be a key regulator in the postharvest storage of fruits. Postharvest senescence is one of the most serious threats affecting the usage and economic value of fruits. Most recent studies have found that exogenous NO application can effectively improve the quality and prolong the shelf life of fruit postharvest by inhibiting postharvest diseases and alleviating chilling injury. Understanding the roles of NO is essential to elucidating how NO activates the appropriate set of responses to postharvest senescence. Here, we concluded that exogenous NO treatment alleviated senescence in postharvest fruit and attributed this to the following factors: (1) ethylene biosynthesis, (2) the antioxidant system, (3) polyamine metabolism and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) shunting, (4) cell wall metabolism, (5) sugar metabolism, (6) energy metabolism, (7) the CRT/DRE-binding factor (CBF) pathway and (8) S-nitrosylation. Moreover, crosstalk between NO and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), oxalic acid (OA), arginine (Arg), GATA or plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA), melatonin (MT), and methyl jasmonate (MeJA), along with the regulation of key genes, were found to be very important in responses to postharvest senescence. In this study, we focus on the recent knowledge concerning the alleviative effect of NO on postharvest senescence, covering ethylene biosynthesis, the antioxidant system and related gene and protein expression.

Abstract
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment is an early prevalent feature of multiple sclerosis (MS), and remains vital for MS progression. Microglial activation precedes BBB disruption and cellular infiltrates in the brain of MS patients. However, little is known about the function of microglia in BBB impairment. Here, microglia acts as an important modulator of BBB integrity in inflammatory demyelination. Microglial depletion profoundly ameliorates BBB impairment in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Specifically, miR-126a-5p in microglia is positively correlated with BBB integrity in four types of MS plaques. Mechanistically, microglial deletion of miR-126a-5p exacerbates BBB leakage and EAE severity. The protective effect of miR-126a-5p is mimicked and restored by specific inhibition of MMP9 in microglia. Importantly, Auranofin, an FDA-approved drug, is identified to protect BBB integrity and mitigate EAE progression via a microglial miR-126a-5p dependent mechanism. Taken together, microglia can be manipulated to protect BBB integrity and ameliorate inflammatory demyelination. Targeting microglia to regulate BBB permeability merits consideration in therapeutic interventions in MS.

Abstract
Gasotransmitters have gained significant recognition attributed to their evident biological impacts, and is accepted as a promising and less-explored area with immense research scope. The three-member family comprising of nitric oxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide as endogenous gaseous signaling molecules have been found to elicit a plethora of crucial biological functions, spawning a new research area. The sensing of these small molecules is vital to gain deeper insights into their functions, as they can act both as a friend or a foe in mammalian systems. The initial sections of the review present the physiological and pathophysiological roles of these endogenous gas transmitters and their synergistic interactions. Further, various detection approaches, especially the usage of fascinating features of 1,8-naphthalimide as fluorescent probe in the detection and monitoring of these small signaling molecules are highlighted. The current limitations and the future scope of improving the sensing of the three gasotransmitters are also discussed.

Nitric oxide donor, sodium nitroprusside modulates hydrogen sulfide metabolism and cysteine homeostasis to aid the alleviation of chromium toxicity in maize seedlings (Zea mays L.). JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 424:127302.

Abstract
The current research aimed to assess the protective role of nitric oxide (NO) against chromium (Cr) toxicity in maize seedlings. Chromium (200 µM) lowered osmotic potential in epicotyls and mostly in radicles (by 38% and 63%, respectively) as compared to the control. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP, NO donor) restored seedling biomass (+90% for both organs) and water potential, whereas application of Nω-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME, a NOS inhibitor) increased sensitivity to Cr. SNP suppressed Cr-triggered proline accumulation by inhibiting Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase activity and stimulating proline dehydrogenase activity, leading to glutamate over-accumulation (~30% for both organs). Cr stimulated cysteine metabolism and this was further enhanced by SNP which stimulated serine acetyl-transferase and O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase activities. This was followed by an increase in endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) generation by up-regulating L-cysteine desulfhydrase (+205%), D-cysteine desulfhydrase (+150%) and cyanoalanine synthase (+65%) activities in radicles compared to Cr-treatments plants. These positive effects were reduced in L-NAME compared to control. Combined Cr+SNP affected the levels of compounds involved in glutathione metabolism (γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl, γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-clycine, γ-cysteinyl-glycine, and glycine.). All together, our findings indicate that NO and elicited cellular H2S act synergistically to alleviate Cr stress in maize seedlings by influencing a metabolic interplay between cysteine, proline, and glutathione.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), nitric oxide (NO), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play essential signaling roles in cells by oxidative post-translational modification within suitable ranges of concentration. All of them contribute to the balance of redox and are involved in the DNA damage and repair pathways. However, the damage and repair pathways of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are complicated, and the interactions among NO, H2S, ROS, and mtDNA damage are also intricate. This article summarized the current knowledge about the metabolism of H2S, NO, and ROS and their roles in maintaining redox balance and regulating the repair pathway of mtDNA damage in plants. The three reactive species may likely influence each other in their generation, elimination, and signaling actions, indicating a crosstalk relationship between them. In addition, NO and H2S are reported to be involved in epigenetic variations by participating in various cell metabolisms, including (nuclear and mitochondrial) DNA damage and repair. Nevertheless, the research on the details of NO and H2S in regulating DNA damage repair of plants is in its infancy, especially in mtDNA.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a very important third endogenously generated gaseous signaling molecule and plays a key role in physiological and pathological regulation processes of living biosystems. Although a lot of H2S fluorescent probes have been reported, the relationship between the physiology and pathology of H2S in inflamed tissues remains unclear. Herein, by adopting a donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A)-structured naphthalimide derivative as the two-photon (TP) fluorophore and a 4-dinitrobenzene-ether (DNB) with a strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect as the recognition moiety, we reported a novel TP bioimaging probe NP-H2S for H2S with improved sensitivity. The NP-H2S exhibits very low background fluorescence in the absence of H2S, and a significant 258-fold fluorescence intensity enhancement was observed in the presence of H2S, resulting in a high sensitivity and selectivity to H2S in aqueous solutions with a detection limit of 18.8 nM observed. The probe also shows a wide linear response concentration range (0-10.0 μM) to H2S with high selectivity. All these features are favorable for direct monitoring of H2S in complex biological samples. It was then applied for direct TP imaging of H2S in tissues of inflammation model with satisfactory sensitivity, indicating it has the latent capability in further biological applications for investigation of the interaction H2S with inflammation.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a short-life and free radical molecule involved in a wide range of cellular, physiological and stressful processes in higher plants. In recent years it has been observed that exogenous NO application can palliate adverse damages against abiotic and biotic stresses. Conversely, there is accumulating information indicating that endogenous NO participates significantly in the mechanism of modulation of the ripening in climacteric and non-climacteric fruits. Even more, when NO is exogenously applied, it can mediate beneficial effects during ripening and postharvest storage being one of the main effects the increase of antioxidant systems. Consequently, NO could be a promising biotechnological tool to improve crops through ameliorating nutritional indexes and to alleviate damages during fruit ripening and postharvest management. Thus, this approach should be complementary to previous strategies to allow preserving the quality and healthiness of fruits with a view of enhancing their added value. The present mini-review aims to provide an overview of NO biochemistry in plants and updated information on the relevance of NO in fruit ripening and postharvest stages with a view to its biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Future climate change will present many plants with environmental challenges, including extreme temperatures and drought. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as an important signal transmitting molecule in plants, especially important in many stress responses and it is known to regulate numerous physiological and developmental processes. Being recently suggested as a signaling molecule, research exploring the regulatory functions is continuously progressing regarding the role of H2S in plant science, agriculture and horticulture. Biosynthesis of H2S occurs in different cellular compartments from where it can freely translocate via membranes to where needed or be excluded where not required. H2S interacts with related signaling molecules which together mediate stress tolerance against a plethora of harsh conditions. The H2S induced tolerance against stresses occurs via regulation of antioxidants activities, endogenous levels of GSH, osmoregulator accumulation, cell signaling proteins, and stress-related gene expression. Overall this efficiently eliminates excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and maintains the intracellular redox balance. The current review summarizes the recent progress on H2S or H2S donor-mediated abiotic stress tolerance with special reference to climate change and horticulture crops, pre- and post-harvest. Elucidating the role of H2S in cell signaling pathways may open new horizons towards understanding how exogenous treatments with H2S in horticulture plants may aid in the tolerance to stress, especially as environmental conditions change, and can secure better crop yields and avoid post-harvest losses.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a signaling role in higher plants. It mediates persulfidation, a post-translational modification. It regulates physiological functions ranging from seed germination to fruit ripening. The beneficial effects of exogenous H2S are mainly caused by the stimulation of antioxidant systems.
The signaling properties of the gasotransmitter molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is endogenously generated in plant cells, are mainly observed during persulfidation, a protein post-translational modification (PTM) that affects redox-sensitive cysteine residues. There is growing experimental evidence that H2S in higher plants may function as a mechanism of response to environmental stress conditions. In addition, exogenous applications of H2S to plants appear to provide additional protection against stresses, such as salinity, drought, extreme temperatures and heavy metals, mainly through the induction of antioxidant systems, in order to palliate oxidative cellular damage. H2S also appears to be involved in regulating physiological functions, such as seed germination, stomatal movement and fruit ripening, as well as molecules that maintain post-harvest quality and rhizobium–legume symbiosis. These properties of H2S open up new challenges in plant research to better understand its functions as well as new opportunities for biotechnological treatments in agriculture in a changing environment.
