Inhibition of NOS- like activity in maize alters the expression of genes involved in H2O2 scavenging and glycine betaine biosynthesis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)Nitric oxide synthase-like activity contributes to the production of nitric oxide in plants, which controls plant responses to stress. This study investigates if changes in ascorbate peroxidase enzymatic activity and ... -
Modulation of antioxidant enzyme activities and metabolites ratios by nitric oxide in short-term salt stressed soybean root nodules
(Elsevier, 2013)Several abiotic factors cause molecular damage to plants either directly or through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We investigated if application of nitric oxide (NO) donor ... -
Nitric oxide affects salt-induced changes in free amino acid levels in maize
(Elsevier, 2013)It was assumed that salt-induced redox changes affect amino acid metabolism in maize (Zea mays L.), and this influence may be modified by NO. The applied NaCl treatment reduced the fresh weight of shoots and roots. This ... -
Ozone and nitric oxide induce cGMP-dependent and independent transcription of defence genes in tobacco
(Wiley, 2009)Here, we analyse the temporal signatures of ozone (O3)-induced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) and the role of the second messenger guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) in transcriptional changes ... -
Response of soybean nodules to exogenously applied caffeic acid during NaCl-induced salinity
(Elsevier, 2015)affeic acid acts as an antioxidant to scavenge reactive oxygen species, but its influence on plant responses to abi- otic stresses is only partially understood. Here, we investigated the influence of exogenously applied ...
