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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
