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...

Doing the unexpected: Proteins involved in hydrogen peroxide perception (2006)
Journal Article
Harrison, J., Hancock, J., Desikan, R., Bright, J., Hooley, R., & Neill, S. (2006). Doing the unexpected: Proteins involved in hydrogen peroxide perception. Journal of Experimental Botany, 57(8), 1711-1718. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erj180

A look back at the early literature on reactive oxygen species (ROS) gives the impression that these small inorganic molecules had a singular defined role, that of host defence in mammalian systems. However, it is now known that their roles also incl... Read More about Doing the unexpected: Proteins involved in hydrogen peroxide perception.

The role of stigma peroxidases in flowering plants: Insights from further characterization of a stigma-specific peroxidase (SSP) from Senecio squalidus (Asteraceae) (2006)
Journal Article
Porter, R., McInnis, S. M., Emery, D. C., Desikan, R., Hancock, J. T., & Hiscock, S. J. (2006). The role of stigma peroxidases in flowering plants: Insights from further characterization of a stigma-specific peroxidase (SSP) from Senecio squalidus (Asteraceae). Journal of Experimental Botany, 57(8), 1835-1846. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erj182

Angiosperm stigmas have long been known to exhibit high levels of peroxidase activity when they are mature and most receptive to pollen but the biological function of stigma peroxidases is not known. A novel stigma-specific class III peroxidase gene,...

ABA-induced NO generation and stomatal closure in Arabidopsis are dependent on H2O2 synthesis (2006)
Journal Article
Bright, J., Desikan, R., Hancock, J. T., Weir, I. S., & Neill, S. (2006). ABA-induced NO generation and stomatal closure in Arabidopsis are dependent on H2O2 synthesis. Plant Journal, 45(1), 113-122. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-313X.2005.02615.x

Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are key signalling molecules produced in response to various stimuli and involved in a diverse range of plant signal transduction processes. Nitric oxide and H 2O2 have been identified as essential compo... Read More about ABA-induced NO generation and stomatal closure in Arabidopsis are dependent on H2O2 synthesis.
