Abstract

Hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) is emerging as an important gaseous molecule involved in various plant developmental processes and plant stress responses. In this study, exogenous H₂S donor (sodium hydrosulfide, NaHS) treated wheat plants were used to investigate the role of H₂S in response to iron-deficiency. The results showed that H₂S significantly alleviated leaf chlorosis under iron-deficient conditions, and thus improved photosynthesis. Moreover, H₂S increased the lateral root (LR) number, density and length of wheat seedlings grown in iron-sufficient and deficient culture solution, and promoted phytosiderophores (PSs) secretion from roots simultaneously, which eventually led to an increase in iron uptake. Taken together, these results indicate that H₂S improved iron uptake by regulating root development and PSs secretion, and consequently increased chlorophyll biosynthesis and photosynthesis in plants under iron-deficiency.
