Nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous, redox‐active small molecule, is gradually becoming
established as a central regulator of growth, development, immunity and environmental …

Nitrite is one of the players in the broad nitrogen biogeochemical cycle. This nitrogen oxo-
anion is involved in key pathways crucial to life on Earth and to the planetary “recycling” of …

Background and Aims Peroxisomes are subcellular compartments involved in multiple
cellular metabolic pathways. Peroxynitrite (ONOO−) is a nitric oxide-derived molecule which …

In the present investigation, the role of sodium nitroprusside (SNP, a donor of NO) in
inducing salinity tolerance (100 mM NaCl) in cotton was studied. Salt stress reduced the …

The extensive support for abscisic acid (ABA) involvement in the complex regulatory
networks controlling stress responses and development in plants contrasts with the relatively …

For several decades a wide range of studies have focused on plant responses to reactive
oxygen species. ROS are highly reactive molecules that can interact with DNA, proteins …

Continuous discoveries in plant and crop physiology have resulted in an abundance of new
information since the publication of the second edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop …

Inoculations with saprophytic fungus Trichoderma spp. are now extensively used both to
promote plant growth and to suppress disease development. The underlying mechanisms …

Nitric oxide biosynthesis in plants - the short overview Page 1 129 With the finding of a number
of roles of the gaseous free radical nitric oxide (NO) in animal cells, many studies have …

Plants are continuously exposed to changing environmental conditions such as
temperature, drought, salinity, heavy metals, etc., which in their extreme limits pose serious …
