Implication of Nitric Oxide Under Salinity Stress: The Possible Interaction with Other Signaling Molecules

Journal of Plant Growth Regulation Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

It is a well-established fact that nitric oxide (NO) is a multifaceted signaling molecule, which plays diverse role in organisms. In the past two decades, various pieces of evidence have been documented to address its involvement under various abiotic and biotic stress responses in plant systems. One of the prime consequences of abiotic stress is an increase in the cellular concentration of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species such as nitric oxide (NO) peroxynitrite (ONOO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). But how the pathways of these reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hormones are integrated with NO and how the signals are relayed in biological systems remain incoherent and scanty in the literature. Thus, this review attempts to address NO-mediated ROS metabolism, defense responses, and its interactions with other bioactive molecules.
