Synergistic interplay between melatonin and hydrogen sulfide enhances cadmium-induced oxidative stress resistance in stock ( Matthiola incana L.).
Plant Signaling & Behavior 2024 December 32
Ornamental crops particularly cut flowers are considered sensitive to heavy metals (HMs) induced oxidative stress condition. Melatonin (MLT) is a versatile phytohormone with the ability to mitigate abiotic stresses induced oxidative stress in plants. Similarly, signaling molecules such as hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) have emerged as potential options for resolving HMs related problems in plants. The mechanisms underlying the combined application of MLT and H2 S are not yet explored. Therefore, we evaluated the ability of individual and combined applications of MLT (100 μM) and H2 S in the form of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), a donor of H2 S, (1.5 mM) to alleviate cadmium (Cd) stress (50 mg L-1 ) in stock ( Matthiola incana L.) plants by measuring various morpho-physiological and biochemical characteristics. The results depicted that Cd-stress inhibited growth, photosynthesis and induced Cd-associated oxidative stress as depicted by excessive ROS accumulation. Combined application of MLT and H2 S efficiently recovered all these attributes. Furthermore, Cd stress-induced oxidative stress markers including electrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde, and hydrogen peroxide are partially reversed in Cd-stressed plants by MLT and H2 S application. This might be attributed to MLT or H2 S induced antioxidant plant defense activities, which effectively reduce the severity of oxidative stress indicators. Overall, MLT and H2 S supplementation, favorably regulated Cd tolerance in stock; yet, the combined use had a greater effect on Cd tolerance than the independent application.
