Interaction between ABA and NO in plants under abiotic stresses and its regulatory mechanisms.

Abscisic acid (ABA) and nitric oxide (NO), as unique signaling molecules, are involved in plant growth, developmental processes, and abiotic stresses. However, the interaction between ABA and NO under abiotic stresses has little been worked out at present. Therefore, this paper reviews the mechanisms of crosstalk between ABA and NO in the regulation of plants in response to environmental stresses.

Involvement of Nitric Oxide and Melatonin Enhances Cadmium Resistance of Tomato Seedlings through Regulation of the Ascorbate-Glutathione Cycle and ROS Metabolism.

Melatonin (MT) and nitric oxide (NO) act as signaling molecules that can enhance cadmium (Cd) stress resistance in plants. However, little information is available about the relationship between MT and NO during seedling growth under Cd stress. We hypothesize that NO may be involved in how MT responds to Cd stress during seedling growth.
