Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is a highly diffusible, gaseous molecule that has been proved to control a range of physiological responses in many plant stresses. Exposure to UV-B radiation leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species that cause oxidative damages. In this study, sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) was used as a H₂S donor for the alleviation of damage caused by UV-B in Borage plant. Lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and H₂O₂ content were increased in plant exposed to UV-B. Results showed that ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase, and catalase activities and reduced glutathione (GSH) did not change significantly in stressed plants when compared with control, but flavonoids concentration was increased considerably. Pre-treatment of plants with NaHS (120 μM), significantly decreased the Malondialdehyde content, carbonyl groups, and H₂O₂. Activities of ascorbate peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase enzymes increased in plants which were pre-treated while catalase activity decreased. The reduced glutathione content increased in borage plant leaves. HPLC analysis of flavonoids demonstrated that pre-treatment with NaHS caused a decrease in flavonoid content. These findings suggest that H₂S alleviates UV-B damages may occur through enhancement of antioxidative enzyme activities and GSH content in borage seedlings.
