Salinity-induced accumulation of endogenous H2S and NO is associated with modulation of the antioxidant and redox defense systems in Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Havana
The H2S and NO contents increased in response to the two concentrations of NaCl. l-DES, CAS and CS were the major sources of H2S in response to salinity. The increase of NO in stressed tobacco leaves was due to the induction of NR. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant system was activated with high salinity. Depletion of H2S or NO compromised the response of antioxidant and redox systems.
