This book series provides recent advancements in wide areas related to higher plants and how they adapt / evolve under environmental changes in a scenario of climate change. It investigates plants under the complementary point of views, including agronomy aspects (vegetables and fruits), nutrition and health (food security), “omics,” epigenetics, contamination by heavy metals, environmental stresses (salinity, drought, high and low temperatures), interaction with beneficial or pathogenic microorganisms, and application of exogenous molecules (nitric oxide, melatonin, chitosan, silicon, etc.) to palliate negative effects. It also includes changes due to climatic condition (high/low rainfall) taking into account that the climate change is often the reason why plants evolve in a challenging environment. This book series also covers molecular-/cellular-level responses of plants under different climatic reasons. Families of molecules derived from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) designated as reactive oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur species (ROS, RNS and RSS, respectively) are included since, depending on the production level, they function both as signal molecules and as a mechanism of response against adverse/changing environmental conditions that can produce multiple cellular damages, alter the redox state or even trigger cell death. During these ensued metabolic processes, some anti-oxidative/oxidative enzymes are also disturbed or triggered abruptly, but there are adequate mechanisms of regulation/homeostasis in the different subcellular compartments to keep these enzymes under control. In the last decades, the progression in this field has been enormous, but still there is so much in this field to understand the plethora of phenomena behind.

Preface
Abiotic stressors, such as drought, extreme temperature, heavy metals, or high salinity, are causing huge crop losses worldwide. These abiotic stressors are expected to become more extreme, less predictable, and more widespread in the near future. With the rapidly growing human population and changing global climate conditions, it is critical to prevent global crop losses to meet the increasing demand for food and other crop products. The harm of abiotic stresses includes the disruption of cellular redox homeostasis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction, and oxidative stress damages of cellular plant components. Plants have different mechanisms to fight stress, and these mechanisms are responsible for maintaining the required homeostasis in plants. Recently, the study of gasotransmitters in higher plants has attracted much attention, especially for abiotic stress. Various signalling molecules have pivotal roles in the regulation of plant growth and development. Additionally, they emerged as cellular signaling molecules with key functions in the regulation of responses to various abiotic and biotic stressors. Their signaling pathways are interconnected in a complex network, which provides plants with an enormous regulatory potential to rapidly adapt to their environment and utilize their limited resources for growth and survival in a cost-efficient manner. Gasotransmitters are gaseous molecules that are generated by organisms and transmit biological signals. Research on gasotransmitters is rapidly expanding and knowledge regarding the potential of gasotransmitters in biology and medicine is accumulating. Gasotransmitters, such as hydrogen gas (H2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and methane (CH4), are unique and regulate specific biological functions. Over the past few decades, the roles of these signaling molecules, especially NO and H2S, have been extensively studied for their application in plants. Recently, the emissions of endogenous gasotransmitters in plants have been widely studied and analysed, thereby providing information to facilitate our understanding of new gasotransmitters signaling pathways. Given the multidimensional role of these signaling molecules, research over the past decades in mitigating abiotic stresses in plant biology and from an agriculture point of view, we bring forth a comprehensive volume Gasotransmitters Signaling in Plants Under Challenging Environment.

Role of Gasotransmitters in Hormonal Responses of Plants to Abiotic Stress Irina F. Golovatskaya and Nikolay I. Laptev
Abstract The hormonal regulation system refers to remote control systems of plant processes. It coordinates the functioning of various tissues and organs and maintains the relationships of the processes by internal rhythms, and also coordinates all the processes with the changes in the environment. Gasotransmitters (nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide) are involved as secondary messengers in the transmission of hormonal signals. These gaseous compounds are components of the net of signals that regulate plant functions, and the implementation of their effects depends on the concentration and direction of action. Under stress conditions, the hormonal system through gasotransmitters triggers compensatory- adaptive mechanisms that prevent the disturbance of homeostasis of the plant organism. In this chapter, we have summarized information about the interaction between gasotransmitter molecules and their regulatory functions in phytohormone- controlled growth and stress-responses. Keywords Gasotransmitters · Hormonal regulation · Adaptive mechanisms · Stress-responses

This leads to the development of different strategies by the plants for responding to various stressors (Aftab and Roychoudhury 2021). The stress signal of the I. F.

external environment is transmitted through the plant using the hormonal system, which is represented directly by phytohormones, as well as hormone-like substances (polyamines, neurotransmitters-like and gasotransmitters) and is involved in the formation of defense reactions. Each of the hormones triggers its own signaling chain that is consistent with the functioning of other signaling pathways in the plant. As a result, a whole signaling network is created focused on maintaining the vital activity or survival of the plant under stressful conditions. Thanks to the nodes of interaction of chains, in which gasotransmitters (GTs) can participate, changes occur at the genomic and postgenomic levels, leading to a change in the whole metabolism. The latter determines the redistribution of energy and metabolic resources available to the body, and the switching of the growth and development program to the protection program. It has now been shown that GTs play the role of messengers in the transduction of phytohormone signals. It is believed that a molecule can become a signal messenger if it meets several criteria. Messengers must be synthesized in a specific place and at a certain time, when there is a need for it. The molecule must be recognized by other molecules to convey specific information and must be deleted when there is no need to translate (Hancock 2017). Modern research confirms compliance with the criteria for nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon monoxide (CO) molecules. In addition, these molecules are combined into the GTs group of plant cells, since they are characterized by similar properties: gaseous state; free migration across membranes; functioning at physiological concentrations; the existence of specific systems of enzymatic (NO, H2S and CO) and non-enzymatic (NO and CO) synthesis; lack of classic receptors; interaction with functional target groups of macromolecules; the temporary nature of the increase in the content of GTs under the influence of factors with their subsequent binding or transformation into other compounds (He and He 2014; Kolupaev et al. 2019). Since high concentrations of GTs have a negative effect on cell function, processes aimed at maintaining the dynamic equilibrium of the levels of these molecules provide one of the mechanisms of plant survival.
1.2 General Characteristics of Gasotransmitters 1.2.1 General Characteristics of Nitric Oxide (NO) NO, playing the role of GT, regulates various processes in organisms. In higher animals and many insects, NO formation is caused by oxidation reactions of L-arginine to L-citrulline under the NO synthase (NOS) action (Montfort et al. 2017). Several pathways for NO synthesis have been suggested in plants (Fig. 1.1a). The most studied mechanisms include nitrite reduction by NIA1 and NIA2 (NITRATE REDUCTASE 1 and 2, NR1 and NR2, respectively). In contrast, the functioning of an arginine-dependent pathway involving NOS-like synthase in

plants remains controversial. However, NO formation in peroxisomes is carried out by a protein similar to animal NOS (Astier et al. 2018; Corpas et al. 2019a, b). Nonenzymatic NO formation during the conversion of nitric oxides (e.g., N2O) and reduction of NO2− at pH
