Reactive Nitrogen Species and the Role of NO in Abiotic Stress

Dagmar Procházková, Jan Sumaira, Nad'a Wilhelmová, Daniela Pavlíková and Jiřina Száková

Nitric oxide (NO) and related reactive nitrogen species have attracted the attention of plant biologists particularly in connection with stresses. Most experiments investigating the participation and effects of NO under abiotic stresses employ exogenous application of NO. The present overview offers a short summary of the influence of exogenously applied NO, of changes in endogenous NO content, and of changes in the reactive nitrogen species metabolism under the effect of various types of abiotic stresses.
