H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In a laboratory model, the data provide new insights into the postharvest quality reduction of Lanzhou lily scales mitigated by H₂ fumigation. The authors concluded that the results indicated the H₂ remarkably declined the color variation and browning degree in Lanzhou lily scales by suppressing the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO). These findings from a laboratory model add evidence supporting molecular hydrogen's biological and therapeutic potential in the model studied.

What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
Hydrogen gas (H₂) is an important molecular messenger in animal and plant cells and is involved in various aspects of plant processes, including root organogenesis induction, stress tolerance and postharvest senescence. This study investigated the effect of H₂ fumigation on the quality of Lanzhou lily scales. The results indicated the H₂ remarkably declined the color variation and browning degree in Lanzhou lily scales by suppressing the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO). The data provide new insights into the postharvest quality reduction of Lanzhou lily scales mitigated by H₂ fumigation.
