Abstract
The primary and probably only important role that NO. plays in the hypersensitive response is communication between dying cells and neighboring cells. NO. accumulates extracellularly immediately prior to programmed cell death of infected cells and inhibits extracellular H2O2-degrading enzymes, leading to H2O2 accumulation. NO. and/or H2O2 travel to adjacent cells, where H2O2 accumulation induces salicylic acid biosynthesis. Salicylic acid mediates the observed NO.-dependent potentiation of programmed cell death triggering. These effects appear to depend upon augmentation of plasma membrane depolarization by direct effects of salicylic acid; whereas delayed negative feedback on programmed cell death is gene expression-dependent.
