Hydrogen has emerged as a pivotal element poised to revolutionise agricultural technology. Its demonstrated potential to enhance soil quality, stimulate crop growth, and elevate agricultural productivity has garnered substantial scientific interest. This paper examines the historical evolution and contemporary applications of hydrogen in agriculture, analyses future prospects and challenges, and u

Salt stress could lead to plant growth barriers and crop yield reduction. Strawberries are sensitive to salt stress, and improving salt tolerance is important for strawberry production. This study aimed to explore the potential of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) to enhance salt tolerance in strawberries. Through pot experiments, we investigated how HRW affects plant growth, ion absorption, osmotic stres

Gaseous hydrogen (H2) has emerged as a molecule that has a significant influence on the growth and development of plants, particularly if they are under stress. Often research has shown the ameliorating effects of H2 during drought, in the presence of heavy metals or salt, or during UV light irradiation. Postharvest, H2 has been shown to increase the quality of fruits and vegetables during storage

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

Despite being trialed in other regions of the world, the use of molecular hydrogen (H2) for enhanced plant growth and the postharvest storage of crops has yet to be widely accepted in the UK. The evidence that the treatment of plants and plant products with H2 alleviates plant stress and slows crop senescence continues to grow. Many of these effects appear to be mediated by the alteration of the a

Molecular hydrogen has been shown to exert beneficial effects on plant growth and abiotic stress tolerance, however, the exact mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. H2 is able to diffuse directly across the plasma membrane, which is the first barrier between H2 and cells. It is possible that H2 may exert its biological effects on plant cells by interacting with PM. Hydrogenases can catalyze

Molecular hydrogen (H2) exhibits a wide breadth of botanical effects especially in improving the resistance to abiotic stress. However, the primary target is not clear. Bidirectional hydrogenases have been well studied in microbes and alga, but there is a paucity of research in higher plants. Here, we used real-time spectrophotometry, gas chromatography and H2 sensor to detect the H2-evolving and

Therapeutic effects of molecular hydrogen for a wide range of disease models and human diseases have been investigated since 2007. A total of 321 original articles have been published from 2007 to June 2015. Most studies have been conducted in Japan, China, and the USA. About three-quarters of the articles show the effects in mice and rats. The number of clinical trials is increasing every year. I

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
