Main Results:

  • Nitric oxide triggers resistance-associated cell death in plants.
  • NO contributes to the induction of defense genes, both locally and systemically.
  • NO activates signal transduction pathways via protein kinases, calcium mobilization, and protein modification.

Conclusions:

  • Nitric oxide is a crucial signaling molecule in plant immunity.
  • NO mediates key defense responses, including the hypersensitive response and systemic acquired resistance.
  • Understanding NO signaling is vital for enhancing plant resistance to pathogens.
