Early studies suggest the use of H2 treatment for a wide range of human diseases, from COVID-19 to various neurodegenerative diseases. Moreover, its biological activity also appears to have therapeutic and regulatory effects in plants. Accordingly, it has been suggested to be useful in agricultural settings. H2 has effects on a range of physiological events in plants. It has been shown to have effects on seed germination, plant growth, and development. It has also been found to be involved in plant stress responses and to be protective against abiotic stress. It also has beneficial effects during the post-harvest storage of crops. Therefore, its use in the agricultural setting has great potential as it appears to be safe, with no toxicity or harm to the environment. One of the conundrums of the use of H2 is how it induces these effects in plants and plant cells. It is difficult to envisage how it works based on a classical receptor mechanism. There is evidence that it may act as a direct antioxidant, by scavenging hydroxyl radicals, or via enhancing the plant?s innate antioxidant system as a signaling molecule. It has also been reported to exert effects through action on heme oxygenase, cross-talk with other signaling molecules, and regulating the expression of various genes. However, how H2 fits into, and integrates with, other signaling pathways is not clearly understood. Future work is needed to elucidate the mechanism and significance of the interaction of H2 with these and other cellular systems. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 610 $aantioxidants 610 $aheme oxygenase 610 $ahydrogen gas 610 $ahydrogenase 610 $ahydroxyl radicals 610 $amolecular hydrogen 610 $anitric oxide 610 $areactive oxygen species 610 $aChinese chive 610 $astorage quality 610 $aantioxidant capacity 610 $ahydrogen nanobubble water 610 $avase life 610 $asenescence-associated enzymes 610 $acut carnation flowers 610 $aglucosamine 610 $asucrose 610 $astarch 610 $agene expression 610 $asugar metabolism 610 $aamylose 610 $acadmium 610 $afield quality 610 $ahydrogen-based agriculture 610 $arice 610 $aWuzhimaotao (Ficus hirta Vahl) 610 $ahydrogen 610 $atranscription factors 610 $asecondary metabolism 610 $aphytohormones signaling pathways 610 $aphenylpropanoid biosynthesis and metabolism 610 $aChinese herbal medicine 610 $acarbendazim degradation 610 $aglutathione metabolism 610 $adetoxification system 610 $aredox balance 610 $acut flower 610 $aflower industry 610 $apostharvest quality 610 $apostharvest technique 610 $athe fourth industrial revolution 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 700 $aHancock$b John$4edt$0836086 702 $aHancock$b John$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595073703321 996 $aProduction and Role of Molecular Hydrogen in Plants$93035366 997 $aUNINA
