Nitrate reductase (NR) is a key enzyme for nitrogen acquisition by plants, algae, yeasts, and
fungi. Nitrate, its main substrate, is required for signaling and is widely distributed in diverse …

The application of nanostructured materials, designed for sustainable crop production,
reduces nutrient losses, suppresses disease and enhances the yields. Nanomaterials …

Nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as an important signal molecule in plants, having myriad
roles in plant development. In addition, NO also orchestrates both biotic and abiotic stress …

The occurrence of heavy metals in soils may be beneficial or toxic to the environment. The
biota may require some of these elements considered essentials (like Fe, Zn, Cu or Mo) in …

Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among
Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to …

Heavy metal (HM) toxicity is one of the major abiotic stresses leading to hazardous effects in
plants. A common consequence of HM toxicity is the excessive accumulation of reactive …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gaseous reactive oxygen species (ROS) that has evolved as a
signaling hormone in many physiological processes in animals. In plants it has been …

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

Haemoglobin (Hb) is widely known as the iron-containing protein in blood that is essential
for O 2 transport in mammals. Less widely recognised is that erythrocyte Hb belongs to a …

Nitric oxide (NO) is widely recognized for its role as signaling compound. However, the
metabolic mechanisms that determine changes in the level of NO in plants are only poorly …
