Hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>) has demonstrated considerable potential in enhancing plant stress tolerance. However, its agricultural application is limited by the rapid dissipation of H<sub>2</sub> in traditional electrolysis-generated hydrogen-rich water (HRW). In this work, we synthesized a nanoscale H<sub>2</sub>-releasing material (AB@HMSN) by encapsulating ammonia borane (AB) into hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSN), achieving ultrahigh AB loading capacity (811 mg·g<sup>−1</sup> HMSN) and acid-responsive sustained H<sub>2</sub> release behavior in solution. The H<sub>2</sub> release duration reached 75 h, significantly exceeding that of conventional HRW. When applied to salt-stressed (150 mM NaCl) sweetpotato (<em>Ipomoea batatas</em> (L.) Lam) seedlings, 16 mg·L<sup>−1</sup> AB@HMSN significantly improved chlorophyll content, with chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll increasing by 80 %, 100 %, and 88 %, respectively. Photosynthetic performance was markedly enhanced, showing increases of 53 %, 26 %, and 24 % in photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), and transpiration rate (Tr), respectively. Additionally, AB@HMSN treatment strengthened antioxidant defenses by elevating the activities of key enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT), while reducing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and ·O<sup>2-</sup>). Mechanistically, AB@HMSN induced endogenous melatonin (MT) production, which activated sodium-proton (Na<sup>+</sup>/H<sup>+</sup>) antiporters and plasma membrane proton-pumping ATPase (PM H<sup>+</sup>-ATPase) activity. This process restored ion homeostasis by facilitating Na<sup>+</sup> efflux, K<sup>+</sup> influx, and H<sup>+</sup> influx, thereby enhancing salt tolerance. These findings not only advance our understanding of hydrogen-mediated stress tolerance but also offer a practical nanomaterial-based strategy for sustainable agriculture in saline environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biotechnology","volume":"406 ","pages":"Pages 105-114"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144604306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
