Abstract

Carbon monoxide (CO) represents one of key gasotransmitter molecules involved in transduction of various signals necessary for regulation of many functions of living organisms. The review considers peculiarities of CO synthesis in plants and briefly characterizes heme oxygenase as a chief enzyme catalyzing the formation of carbon monoxide. Participation of CO in the processes of growth and development, in particular, seed germination, root formation, and senescence is discussed. Special attention is paid to the role of carbon monoxide in the formation of adaptive reactions to stressors of various nature. Mediation of CO-dependent biological effects by calcium ions, ROS, and nitric oxide is considered. In addition, the involvement of carbon monoxide in the action of other signal molecules, including phytohormones, is analyzed. The properties of the CO donors are briefly surveyed, and their possible value for biological experiments is assessed.
