Abstract

Abstract: Hydrogen sulfide（H₂S）is found to be the third gaseous signal molecule after carbon monoxide（CO）and nitric oxide（NO）in plants,which involves in many physiological processes such as seed germination,plant growth and development,and the acquisition of stress tolerance. Drought stress is the major environmental stress factor that limits crop plant yield. Recently,the fact that H₂S involves in the formation of drought tolerance also has been identified in various plant species. Based on the current progress in H₂S field,crosstalk between H₂S signal and other signals,such as reactive oxygen species（ROS）,NO,CO,abscisic acid（ABA）,ethylene（ETH）,and microRNAs is discussed. Further,the possible mechanisms of H₂S inducing the formation of drought tolerance are summarized from the following aspects of stomata movement,osmolytes,antioxidant system,methylglyoxal detoxification system,and heat shock proteins（HSPs）;moreover,the future research direction is presented. This review further expanded the possible physiological functions of H₂S signal and the formation mechanism of drought tolerance,which is of significance to deeply understand the relationship between H₂S and stress tolerance including drought tolerance in plants.
