Abstract:
In plants, nitric oxide (NO) has been widely accepted as a signaling molecule that plays a role in different processes. Among the most relevant pathways by which NO and its derivatives realize their biological functions, post-translational protein modifications are worth mentioning. Protein S-nitrosylation has been the most studied NO-dependent regulatory mechanism; it is emerging as an essential mechanism for transducing NO bioactivity in plants and animals. In recent years, the research of protein S-nitrosylation in plant growth and development has made significant progress, including processes such as seed germination, root development, photosynthetic regulation, flowering regulation, apoptosis, and plant senescence. In this review, we focus on the current state of knowledge on the role of S-nitrosylation in plant growth and development and provide a better understanding of its action mechanisms.
