H2S in Plants: Past, Present and Beyond presents translational insights from animal to plant application. The recent discovery of several aspects of the function of H2S and its homeostasis in plant cells was propelled by discoveries in mammalian models. Based on the practical application of those analytical methods to plant science, this book will guide readers in the identification and qualification of this gasotransmitter in plant cell function. In addition, it explores important roles in complex signaling networks together with calcium cations, nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide and plant hormones.
Presenting detailed descriptions of analytical methodologies, this book will enable the reader to determine H2S presence and understand its potential in improving stress resistance and crop productivity.

Dr. Modolo has extensive experience in studies of the production and function of signaling molecules in plants, which include H2S and NO among others. She also has expertise in plant nitrogen nutrition and plant response to abiotic stress. She holds a Master's and a Ph.D. in Functional and Molecular Biology from the State University of Campinas, with a postdoctoral residency from the Noble Research Institute, USA, funded by the National Science Foundation. She has experience in the field of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, mainly on topics including secondary metabolism, nitrogen nutrition and cell signaling in plants on environmental stresses. She is an Associate Professor at UFMG, a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Advanced Research, and acts as a manuscript reviewer for several indexed scientific journals. She is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plant Physiology, the American Society for Plant Biologists (ASPB) and the Brazilian Society of Soil Science. Dr. da-Silva is a biologist with experience in the study of the production and function of H2S in plant cells. She graduated from the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, with a Masters degree in plant Physiology from the Federal University of Viēosa and a Ph.D. in Plant Biology from the Federal University of Minas Gerais. She has experience in plant biochemistry, plant physiology and cell signaling with an emphasis on heavy metal stress, saline stress, water deficit and flooding.
