Hydrogen sulfide toxicity inhibits primary root growth through the ROS-NO pathway

Abstract High concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are toxic to plants and inhibit their growth. Previous research indicated that high concentrations of H2S modulate the root system architecture (RSA) by affecting auxin transport; however, the signaling pathway underlying this process remains un...
