Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) play essential roles in plant response to abiotic stress. However, the potential mechanism of H2S and MeJA in alleviating Cd stress in plants remains unclear. In the current study, the importance and crosstalk of H2S and MeJA in the Cd tolerance of cucumber seedlings have been investigated. Our results revealed that Cd stress obviously prohibited the growth of cucumber seedlings. Optimal concentrations of H2S donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) or MeJA treatment, respectively, or in combination, significantly enhanced seedling growth under Cd stress. However, the positive effects of H2S during seedling growth were obviously reversed by the application of MeJA biosynthesis inhibitors, which implied that MeJA might be involved in the H2S-improved growth of cucumber seedlings under Cd stress. Moreover, Cd stress resulted in the increase in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide radical (O2\u00b7\u2212) accumulation, and impaired the functioning of the ascorbate\u2013glutathione cycle. Both H2S and MeJA decreased the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and ameliorated the negative effects of Cd stress through significantly increasing the ratio of ascorbate (AsA)\/dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) and reduced glutathione (GSH)\/oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Besides that, the expression level of ROS scavenge genes was significantly upregulated by the application of exogenous H2S or MeJA treatment. Moreover, H2S and MeJA significantly enhanced the chlorophyll concentration and inhibited chlorophyll degradation through decreasing the expression levels of chlorophyll catabolic enzymes. Additionally, exogenous H2S and MeJA obviously enhanced the chlorophyll fluorescence. However, MeJA biosynthesis inhibitors significantly suppressed the positive role of H2S. The above results suggested MeJA is involved in H2S-induced Cd stress alleviation in cucumber seedlings through enhancing ROS-scavenge capacity and improving the photosynthesis system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26020475","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,8]],"date-time":"2025-01-08T07:40:13Z","timestamp":1736322013000},"page":"475","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Methyl Jasmonate Was Involved in Hydrogen Sulfide-Alleviated Cadmium Stress in Cucumber Plants Through ROS Homeostasis and Chlorophyll Metabolism"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Lijuan","family":"Niu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Science and Engineering, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Mianyang 621010, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haixia","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Science and Engineering, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Mianyang 621010, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yunlai","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Science and Engineering, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Mianyang 621010, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Science and Engineering, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Mianyang 621010, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanshuo","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Science and Engineering, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Mianyang 621010, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Science and Engineering, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Mianyang 621010, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Science and Engineering, Southwest University of Science and Technology, Mianyang 621010, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1007\/s11738-015-2038-x","article-title":"Hydrogen sulfide: A versatile regulator of environmental stress in plants","volume":"38","author":"Guo","year":"2016","journal-title":"Acta Physiol.
