Nitric oxide signalling in plants (2003)
Journal Article
Neill, S., Desikan, R., & Hancock, J. T. (2003). Nitric oxide signalling in plants. New Phytologist, 159(1), 11-35. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1469-8137.2003.00804.x

Recently nitric oxide (NO) has emerged as a key signalling molecule in plants. Here we review the potential sources of endogenous NO, outline the biological processes likely to be mediated by NO, and discuss the downstream signalling processes by whi...

Cytochrome c, Glutathione, and the Possible Role of Redox Potentials in Apoptosis (2003)
Journal Article
Neill, S. J., Hancock, J. T., & Desikan, R. (2003). Cytochrome c, Glutathione, and the Possible Role of Redox Potentials in Apoptosis. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1010(Apopto), 446-448. https://doi.org/10.1196/annals.1299.081

The redox environment of the cell is now thought to be extremely important to control the activity of many proteins. During apoptosis, the intracellular redox potential (Eh) becomes more positive, with possible consequences for the mechanisms of apop...

A new role for an old enzyme: Nitrate reductase-mediated nitric oxide generation is required for abscisic acid-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis thaliana (2002)
Journal Article
Desikan, R., Griffiths, R., Hancock, J. T., & Neill, S. (2002). A new role for an old enzyme: Nitrate reductase-mediated nitric oxide generation is required for abscisic acid-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis thaliana. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 99(25), 16314-16318. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.252461999

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA), synthesized in response to water-deficit stress, induces stomatal closure via activation of complex signaling cascades. Recent work has established that nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule mediating AB...

Antimicrobial properties of milk: Dependence on presence of xanthine oxidase and nitrite (2002)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T., Salisbury, V., Ovejero-Boglione, M. C., Cherry, R., Hoare, C., Eisenthal, R., & Harrison, R. (2002). Antimicrobial properties of milk: Dependence on presence of xanthine oxidase and nitrite. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 46(10), 3308-3310. https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.46.10.3308-3310.2002

Human and bovine milk inhibited the metabolic activity of Escherichia coli, as shown by luminescence monitoring of constructs expressing the luxCDABE genes. Inhibition was dependent on both xanthine oxidase (XO) activity and on the presence of nitrit...

Cell signalling following plant/pathogen interactions involves the generation of reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species (2002)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T., Desikan, R., Clarke, A., Hurst, R. D., & Neill, S. (2002). Cell signalling following plant/pathogen interactions involves the generation of reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species. Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 40(6-8), 611-617. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0981-9428%2802%2901403-1

It is now clear that reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and reactive nitrogen species, such as nitric oxide (NO), are produced by plant cells in response to a variety of stresses, including pathogen challenge. Such molec... Read More about Cell signalling following plant/pathogen interactions involves the generation of reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species.

Hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide as signalling molecules in plants (2002)
Journal Article
Neill, S., Desikan, R., Clarke, A., Hurst, R. D., & Hancock, J. T. (2002). Hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide as signalling molecules in plants. Journal of Experimental Botany, 53(372), 1237-1247

It is now clear that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO) function as signalling molecules in plants. A wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses results in H2O2 generation, from a variety of sources. H2O2 is removed from cells via a number...

Regulation of the Arabidopsis transcriptome by oxidative stress (2001)
Journal Article
Neill, S. J., Hancock, J. T., A.-H.-Mackerness, S., Desikan, R., Desikan, R., Mackerness, S., …Neill, S. (2001). Regulation of the Arabidopsis transcriptome by oxidative stress. Plant Physiology, 127(1), 159-172. https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.127.1.159

Oxidative stress, resulting from an imbalance in the accumulation and removal of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), is a challenge faced by all aerobic organisms. In plants, exposure to various abiotic and biotic stresses resul... Read More about Regulation of the Arabidopsis transcriptome by oxidative stress.
