Abstract

As versatile signaling molecules, melatonin (ML) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are well-known for their roles in response to abiotic stresses. However, their cross-talk to the regulation of biochemical defence responses and secondary metabolite synthesis during salinity has received less attention. Here, the role of ML-H2S interplay in inducing defensive responses and the biosynthesis of essential oil compounds in summer savoury plants under NaCl treatment was investigated. NaCl treatment, by increasing Na accumulation, disrupting nitrogen metabolism, and inducing oxidative stress, lowered photosynthetic pigments and savoury growth. NaCl treatment also resulted in a decrease in γ-terpinene (10.3%), α-terpinene (21.9%), and p-cymene (15.3%), while an increase in carvacrol (9.1%) was observed over the control. ML and ML + H2S increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the level of total phenols and flavonoids, resulting in decreased levels of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion and alleviation of oxidative damage under salinity. ML and ML + H2S increased K uptake and restored K/Na homeostasis, thus protecting the photosynthetic apparatus against NaCl-induced toxicity. ML and ML + H2S treatments also improved nitrate/ammonium homeostasis and stimulated nitrogen metabolism, leading to improved summer savoury adaptation to NaCl stress. ML and ML + H2S changed the composition of essential oils, leading to an increase in the monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes in plants stressed with NaCl. However, the addition of an H2S scavenger, hypotaurine, inhibited the protective effects of the ML and ML + H2S treatments under NaCl stress, which could confirm the function of H2S as a signaling molecule in the downstream defence pathway induced by ML.
