Jasmonic acid-induced hydrogen sulfide activates MEK1/2 in regulating the redox state of ascorbate in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we investigated the relationship between hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1/2) in jasmonic acid (JA)-regulated the redox state of ascorbate in the leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. The results showed that JA significantly enhanced the phosphorylation level of MEK1/2, the production of endogenous H₂S and the ratio of reduced ascorbate (AsA) to dehydroascorbate (DHA) (AsA/DHA) in wild type of A. thaliana (WT). However, there were no obvious effects of JA on above indicators in H₂S synthetic mutant of A. thaliana (MT). H₂S scavenger hypotaurine (HT) markedly reduced JA-induced the phosphorylation level of MEK1/2, AsA/DHA ratio and the production of endogenous H₂S in W
