“…It is hydrated to sulfurous acid (SO 3 2− ) which was cytotoxicity. The sulfate was mainly metabolically detoxified by oxidative reaction into sulfate with increased sulfite oxidase activity or by reductive reaction into S‐metabolites like thiols (Baillie et al, ). In this work, our results showed that the activity of SiR, SAT, and OAS‐TL in the litchi pulp increased by folds rapidly after sulfur fumigation.…”

“…Therefore, its fast removal by oxidation to nontoxic sulfate is a means to protect the cell against excess of sulfite derived from SO 2 . Plants usually relieve the SO 2 stress in three ways: regulating stomatal conductance to control the amount of SO 2 entering the cell, oxidizing the SO 3 2− into SO 4 2− by sulfite oxidase (SO) in peroxisome, and then was stored in the vacuoles or converting the SO 3 2− into a thiol or other sulfur-containing compounds via a reduction pathway (Aghajanzadeh, Hawkesford, & Kok, 2016;Baillie et al, 2016;Chao et al, 2014 However, these studies focused on the effects of low concentration SO 2 on sulfur metabolism in plant leaves or roots (Aghajanzadeh et al, 2016;Brychkova, Yarmolinsky, Fluhr, & Sagi, 2012;Randewig et al, 2014), but few reports on the effects of high concentration of SO 2 on sulfur metabolism in sulfitated fruits especially the edible parts such as pulp. In this study, we performed a desulfurization (DS) treatment to reduce the residual sulfite and investigated its effect on the quality and postharvest physiology of sulfitated litchi fruits.…”

The residual sulfite caused by sulfur fumigation (SF) is a hazard to health and influenced the export trade of litchi. Desulfurization (DS) is a valid chemical method to reduce the residual sulfite. However, the effect of DS on fumigated litchi has not been studied at physiological and molecular level. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of DS (SF plus 3% desulfurizer) on the postharvest quality, sulfite residue, and the sulfite metabolism in sulfitated “Feizixiao” litchi during the 4°C storage. Results indicated that the DS promoted the color recovery of sulfitated litchi and achieved an effect similar to SF on controlling rot and browning. DS recovered the water content and respiration rate of sulfitated litchi pericarp. Thus, DS improves commodity properties of sulfitated litchi. Moreover, DS greatly reduced sulfite residue especially in pulp and ensured the edible safety of sulfitated litchi. The activities of sulfite oxidase, sulfite reductase, serine acetyltransferase, and O ‐acetylserine(thiol) lyase in pulp increased after SF but fell down after DS while the expressions of their encoding genes decreased after SF but then rallied after DS. These results indicated the key role of these enzymes in sulfite metabolism after SF and DS changed the sulfite metabolism at both enzymatic and transcriptional level. It could be concluded that DS used in this study was an effective method for improving the color recovery and ensuring the edible safety of sulfitated litchi by not only chemical reaction but also both of enzymatic and transcriptional regulation.

“…The high toxicity of sulphite is based on its nucleophilic ability to break disulphite bridges resulting in degradation of proteins (Menzel et al, 1986;Heber and Hüve, 1998). In a previously published study, three different evolutionary strategies to detoxify sulphite were identified; these strategies enable plants to cope with environmental stress caused by fumarolic gases high in SO 2 and H 2 S (Baillie et al, 2016). As main strategy, the first group used sulphite oxidation via plant sulphite oxidase (pSO).…”

Different plant species were investigated from two Aeolian Islands located in close vicinity, one with fumarolic activity (Vulcano) and one without (Lipari). On Vulcano, elevated concentrations of SO 2 /H 2 S determined in ambient air indicated the need of plants to adapt to harmful sulphur concentrations by detoxification strategies. The current study was focused on evaluating the element composition of plant leaves in relation to soil mineral contents. The soil of Volcano was characterised by a significantly lower pH on all three sampling sites as well as very high amounts of sulphur and plant available sulphate due to volcanic activities, compared to Lipari. By contrast, a general difference in the composition of trace elements in the soil was not observed between the islands, apart from arsenic, which was increased at all three sampling sites on Vulcano. Element accumulation in the leaves differed between the two islands. The tested species showed a significant higher accumulation of numerous elements (Al, B, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Ni, and Zn) on Vulcano compared to Lipari, while excluding Ca and Mo. These differences in element accumulation in the leaves between the islands may be caused by the lower soil pH on Vulcano. Extreme sulphur accumulation was found for all tested species on Vulcano, but was lower in woody species with higher dry matter content compared to herbaceous species with lower dry matter content. This caused a significantly negative correlation between plant sulphur and dry matter content. From these results, it is concluded that species with higher dry matter contents possess a more effective protection against extreme sulphur accumulation. Strategies to cope with other potentially toxic elements in the soil ranged from exclusion to hyper-accumulation. Hierarchical cluster analyses of the leaf element content revealed a clear separation between two groups: First, herbaceous perennial plants as strong accumulators; and second, woody perennial plants such as shrubs or trees as less strong accumulators, with the primordial species Fumaria capreolata representing an outside group.

“…Generally, industries are constructed in rural areas or outskirts of the cities near to agricultural activity areas. Air pollutants emitted from industrial activity areas become dispersed in surrounding and deposited on plant leaf surfaces in particulate form or gaseous form (Baillie et al, 2016;Baunthiyal et al, 2014). Despite grapevine (Vitis vinefera L.) sensitivity to air pollutants (Doley, 1986;Leece et al, 1986;Murray, 1984), some ecotypes of "Asli" local cultivars are still surviving in the area surrounding the SIAPE (factory producing phosphoric acid and phosphate fertilizers) located in the southern suburb of Sfax city (Tunisia) (Fig.…”

Rhimi et al.: Morpho-anatomical and physiological changes in grapevine leaves exposed to atmospheric pollution - Abstract. A comparative study on the effects of air fluoride and sulphur dioxide pollution on a local vine (Vitis vinefera L.) cultivar "Asli" growing in the vicinity of a factory producing phosphate fertilisers in the southern suburb of Sfax region was investigated. The chemical analysis of both peripheral and central necrotic leaf round slices reveals a preferential accumulation of fluoride, as well as calcium in leaf margins and tips. However, central leaf areas seem to accumulate both sulfur and magnesium. These findings confirm the involvement of these two elements not only in the detoxification of fluoride as CaF 2 and MgF 2, but also in regulating metabolic pathways. On the other hand, net photosynthesis is maintained at appropriate levels, while 30 to 40% of leaf surface are altered by necrosis. Furthermore, several structural changes are revealed in polluted leaves. Indeed, the decrease of leaf density is due probably to (i) a decrease in intercellular spaces, (ii) a decline of vascular bundles number and (iii) a gradual sclerotization of collenchyma cells occurring jointly with a thickening of their walls.
