Summary
Nitric oxide (NO) is emerging as a signaling molecule in plants. Its metabolism, site and mode of action in chloroplasts are still not clear. Chloroplasts are emerging as an alternative site for NO synthesis in plants. However, exogenous NO donors show direct evidence on the action of this molecule on chloroplasts under stress as well non-stress conditions. Nitric oxide is also implicated in the development and senescence of the organelle. The effects of NO on chloroplasts, particularly on photosynthetic and antioxidative processes are described. The target sites and probable sites of action are enumerated.
