Plants' Chemical Messengers: How H2O2, NO, and H2S Help Them Cope with Stress
Plants have a clever way of handling stress. They use special molecules to send signals and protect themselves. These molecules are hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO), and hydrogen sulphide (H2S). At high levels, they can cause damage. But in the right amounts, they help plants adapt to tough conditions. These molecules are part of a bigger group called rea...
