HO-mediated signaling in plant stress caused by herbicides: its role in metabolism and degradation pathways.

Systemic acquired acclimation and resistance are vital physiological mechanisms, essential for plants to survive challenging conditions, including herbicide stress. Harmonizing this adaptation involves a series of complex communication pathways. Hydrogen peroxide (HO) metabolism might play pivotal roles in orchestrating weeds' acclimation and defense responses. In the context of herbicide resistance, the interaction between HO and key stress signaling pathways is crucial in understanding weed physiology and developing effective management strategies. This dynamic interplay might significantly influence how weeds develop resistance to the various challenges posed by herbicides. Moreover, the production and eradication of HO can be highly compartmentalized, depending on the type of herbicide exposure. Till date there have been no studies aiming to explore/discuss these possibilities. Therefore, in this mini-review, our objective is to delve into the potentialities and recent advancements regarding HO-mediated signaling of transcriptomic changes during herbicide stress.
