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...

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...
