Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) signaling regulates plant responses to adverse conditions via persulfidation of proteins. Recently, Chen et al. proposed that mechanistic interplay between H₂S-linked persulfidation- and phosphorylation-based regulation of SNF1-RELATED PROTEIN KINASE 2.6 (SnRK2.6) modulates these pathways, providing a missing link to explain how plants coordinate abscisic acid (ABA) and H₂S signaling in drought responses.

Keywords: ABA; H(2)S; SnRK2.6; persulfidation; phosphorylation.
