New equations for redox and nano-signal transduction (2004)
Journal Article
Hancock, J. T., Desikan, R., Neill, S., & Cross, A. R. (2004). New equations for redox and nano-signal transduction. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 226(1), 65-68. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2003.08.003

Cells maintain redox potentials (Eh) in intracellular compartments, sometimes referred to as redox environments. These potentials are often very reducing, for example in the cytoplasm, but throughout the cell different potentials are maintained, comm...

Hydrogen peroxide is a common signal for darkness and ABA-induced stomatal closure in Pisum sativum L. (2004)
Journal Article
Desikan, R., Cheung, M., Clarke, A., Golding, S., Sagi, M., Fluhr, R., …Neill, S. (2004). Hydrogen peroxide is a common signal for darkness and ABA-induced stomatal closure in Pisum sativum L. Functional Plant Biology, 31(9), 913-920

The requirement for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation and action during stomatal closure induced by darkness and abscisic acid (ABA) was investigated in pea (Pisum sativum L.). Stomatal closure induced by darkness or ABA was inhibited by the H2O2-s... Read More about Hydrogen peroxide is a common signal for darkness and ABA-induced stomatal closure in Pisum sativum L..

Nitric oxide signalling in plants (2003)
Journal Article

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

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

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.
