Antioxidative responses in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) plants stressed by copper and lead in nutrient solution and soil (2008)
Journal Article
Teklic, T., Hancock, J. T., Engler, M., Paradikovic, N., Cesar, V., Lepeduš, H., …Bešlo, D. (2008). Antioxidative responses in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) plants stressed by copper and lead in nutrient solution and soil. Acta Biologica Cracoviensia Series Botanica, 50(2), 79-86

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is commonly grown in urban and suburban areas where the soil may be polluted with heavy metals such as Cu or Pb. In this study, short exposure of radish plantlets to 0.5 mM Cu or Pb in nutrient solution (two days) in grow...

Nitric oxide signalling in plants (2008)
Journal Article
Wilson, I. D., Neill, S., & Hancock, J. T. (2008). Nitric oxide signalling in plants. Plant, Cell and Environment, 31(5), 622-631. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-3040.2007.01761.x

As with all organisms, plants must respond to a plethora of external environmental cues. Individual plant cells must also perceive and respond to a wide range of internal signals. It is now well-accepted that nitric oxide (NO) is a component of the r... Read More about Nitric oxide signalling in plants.

Nitric oxide synthesis and signalling in plants (2008)

Implications of dealing with airborne substances and reactive oxygen species: What mammalian lungs, animals, and plants have to say (2007)
Journal Article
Filho, D. W., Hermes-Lima, M., Oliveira, E. S., Spinelli de Oliveira, E., Hancock, J. T., Isola, D. A., …Wilhelm Filho, D. (2007). Implications of dealing with airborne substances and reactive oxygen species: What mammalian lungs, animals, and plants have to say. Integrative and Comparative Biology, 47(4), 578-591. https://doi.org/10.1093/icb/icm078

A gas-exchange structure interacts with the environment and is constantly challenged by contaminants that may elicit defense responses, thus compromising its primary function. It is also exposed to high concentrations of O2 that can generate reactive...

Nitric oxide, stomatal closure and abiotic stress (2007)
Journal Article
Neill, S., Barros, R. S., Bright, J., Desikan, R., Hancock, J. T., Harrison, J., …Ribeiro, D. M. (2007). Nitric oxide, stomatal closure and abiotic stress. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology - Part A: Molecular and Integrative Physiology, 146(4), S257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cbpa.2007.01.648

Various data indicate that nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous signal in plants that mediates responses to several stimuli. Experimental evidence in support of such signalling roles for NO has been obtained via the application of NO (usually in the fo... Read More about Nitric oxide, stomatal closure and abiotic stress.

Signaling on the stigma: Potential new roles for ROS and NO in plant cell signaling (2007)
Journal Article
Hiscock, S. J., Bright, J., McInnis, S. M., Desikan, R., & Hancock, J. T. (2007). Signaling on the stigma: Potential new roles for ROS and NO in plant cell signaling. Plant Signaling and Behavior, 2(1), 23-24

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species, particularly NO, are key components of diverse signaling networks in animals and plants. We have recently shown that epidermal cells of stigmas from a range of different angiosperms accumul...

Production of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species by angiosperm stigmas and pollen: Potential signalling crosstalk? (2006)
Journal Article
McInnis, S. M., Desikan, R., Hancock, J. T., & Hiscock, S. J. (2006). Production of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species by angiosperm stigmas and pollen: Potential signalling crosstalk?. New Phytologist, 172(2), 221-228. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-8137.2006.01875.x

• Angiosperm stigmas exhibit high levels of peroxidase activity when receptive to pollen. To explore possible function(s) of this peroxidase activity we investigated amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide, in stigmas...

Ethylene-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis occurs via AtrbohF-mediated hydrogen peroxide synthesis (2006)
Journal Article
Desikan, R., Last, K., Harrett-Williams, R., Tagliavia, C., Harter, K., Hooley, R., …Neill, S. (2006). Ethylene-induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis occurs via AtrbohF-mediated hydrogen peroxide synthesis. Plant Journal, 47(6), 907-916. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-313X.2006.02842.x

Ethylene is a plant hormone that regulates many aspects of growth and development. Despite the well-known association between ethylene and stress signalling, its effects on stomatal movements are largely unexplored. Here, genetic and physiological da...
