A reliable and stable hydrogen gas (H2) supply will benefit agricultural laboratory and field trials. Here, we assessed ammonia borane (AB), an efficient hydrogen storage material used in the energy industry, and determined its effect on plant physiology and the corresponding mechanism. Through hydroponics and pot experiments, we discovered that AB increases tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) lateral r

Molecular hydrogen (H2) metabolism in bacteria and algae has been well studied from an industrial perspective because H2
is viewed as a potential future energy source. A number of clinical trials have recently reported that H2 is a therapeutic
antioxidant and signaling molecule. Although H2 metabolism in higher plants was reported in some early studies, its
biological effects remain unclear. In th

Hydrogen gas (H2) was recently proposed as a novel antioxidant and signalling molecule in animals. However, the physiological roles of H2 in plants are less clear. Here, we showed that exposure of alfalfa seedlings to paraquat stress increased endogenous H2 production. When supplied with exogenous H2 or the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)-inducer hemin, alfalfa plants displayed enhanced tolerance to oxida
