When plants are attacked by pathogens, they defend themselves with an arsenal of defence
mechanisms, both passive and active. The active defence responses, which require de novo …

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 …

Plant pathogen attacks are perceived through pathogen-issued compounds or plant-derived
molecules that elicit defense reactions. Despite the large variety of elicitors, general …

Dormancy is an adaptive trait that enables seed germination to coincide with favorable
environmental conditions. It has been clearly demonstrated that dormancy is induced by …

In the rhizosphere, exudates from plants and microorganisms as well as stable soil organic
matter influence processes that can control plant growth, microbial infections, and nutrient …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signalling molecule with diverse physiological functions in
plants. It was found to play a crucial role in plant growth and development, starting from …

The role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in local and systemic defense reactions is
well documented. NPR1 and TGA1 are key redox-controlled regulators of systemic acquired …

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 …

The organization of redox signaling and the use of nitric oxide (NO) to transmit information,
modulate biological processes or create cellular damage are highly complex. Recent reports …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a key redox-active, small molecule involved in various aspects of plant
growth and development. Here, we report the identification of an NO accumulation mutant …
