Published: February 2019

As gasotransmitter, nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (HS) are involved in the regulation of plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. Aluminum (Al) toxicity triggers synthesis of NO and HS and seriously affects plant growth and productivity. Exogenous NO and HS alleviate Al toxicity in plants. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms of NO and HS in alleviating Al toxicity are very scattered. In this review, the advances in the effects of Al on the content of endogenous NO and HS and the mechanisms of exogenous NO and HS in alleviating Al toxicity in plants are summarized and discussed. The signaling pathway for the roles of NO and HS in alleviating Al toxicity is also proposed.

Tobacco, being a globally cultivated crop, holds significant social and economic importance. Tobacco plants are susceptible to the adverse effects of heavy metals (HMs), particularly cadmium (Cd), which hinders root development, disrupts water balance, and impedes nutrient absorption. Higher concentrations of HMs, especially Cd, naturally accumulate in tobacco leaves due to complex interactions within the plant-soil continuum.

The rapid development of nanotechnology has resulted in the widespread use of nanoparticles (NPs) in various sectors due to their unique properties and diverse applications. However, the increased exposure of humans to NPs raises concerns about their potential negative impact on human health and the environment. The pathways through which NPs exert adverse effects, including inflammation and oxidative stress, are primarily influenced by their size, shape, surface charge, and chemistry, underscoring the critical need to comprehend and alleviate their potential detrimental impacts.

Future pandemic threats may be caused by novel coronaviruses and influenza A viruses. Here we show that when directly added to a cell culture, 12mer guanine RNA (G12) and its phosphorothioate-linked derivatives (G12(S)), rapidly entered cytoplasm and suppressed the propagation of human coronaviruses and influenza A viruses to between 1/100 and nearly 1/1000 of normal virus infectivity without cellular toxicity and induction of innate immunity. Moreover, G12(S) alleviated the weight loss caused by coronavirus infection in mice.
