Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential redox-signaling molecule free radical, contributes a significant role in a diverse range of physiological processes. Photo-triggered NO donors have significant potential compared to other NO donors because it releases NO in the presence of light. Hence, an efficient visible light-triggered NO donor is designed and synthesized by coupling 2,6-dimethyl nitrobenzene moiety at the peri-position of 1, 8-naphthalimide. The NO-releasing ability is validated using various spectroscopic techniques, the photoproduct is characterized, and finally, the NO generation quantum yield is also determined. Furthermore, the photo-generated NO has been employed to Arabidopsis thaliana as a model plant to examine the effect of photoreceptor-mediated NO uptake on plant root growth regulation molecule.

可见光控制NO的产生，用于感光体介导的植物根系生长调节。

一氧化氮（NO）是必不可少的氧化还原信号分子自由基，在各种生理过程中均起重要作用。与其他NO供体相比，光触发NO供体具有巨大潜力，因为它在有光的情况下会释放NO。因此，通过在1，8-萘二甲酰亚胺的周边位置偶联2，6-二甲基硝基苯部分来设计和合成有效的可见光触发的NO供体。使用各种光谱技术验证了NO释放能力，表征了光产物，最后还确定了NO产生的量子产率。此外，光生NO已被用作拟南芥的模型植物，以研究光感受器介导的NO摄取对植物根生长调节分子的影响。
