H2S reduced growth of spinach at levels higher than 0.075 μl/liter and inhibited NADH oxidation by shoot extracts. Inhibition of NADH oxidation was maximum after a 48-h exposure. Oxidation of NADH was equally sensitive to sulfide and cyanide. NADH oxidation showed promise as an early indicator for growth reduction by H2S.
