Abstract:
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been proposed to regulate plant-environment interactions. Here, we compare its distinct pathways in plants with those in animals, summarizing recently uncovered mechanisms that govern plant H2S production in subcellular compartments. We underscore the importance of H2S and its role in drought stress and guard cell (GC) signaling.
