Nitrosative Stress in Plants: A New Approach to Understand the Role of NO in Abiotic Stress

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nitric Oxide in Plant Growth, Development and Stress Physiology

Part of the book series: Plant Cell Monographs ((CELLMONO,volume 5))

Abstract

Early reports that plants have the capacity to generate NO. did not attract the attention of plant physiologists for many years, until 1987 when NO. was identified by Prof. Moncada's group as the endothelium-derived relaxing factor in mammals. Plant physiologists and biochemists have started to pay attention to this gas and today NO. is known as a versatile molecule with multiple functions in several complex processes such as seed germination, development, senescence, and defence against biotic/abiotic stress. This chapter presents an overview of the present knowledge on the involvement of NO. and other reactive nitrogen species in plant abiotic stress, with special emphasis on nitrosative stress as a new component of plant stress physiology.
