A sulfur signal helps tomato plants survive heat
✦AI Summary
Researchers have identified that the SlLCD1 gene and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) signaling help tomato plants survive heat stress by boosting antioxidant capacity. The study demonstrates how these biological mechanisms regulate stomatal behavior to protect the plants from high temperatures.
Why it matters
Understanding plant heat tolerance is critical for improving crop resilience and food security in the face of global climate change.
