Abstract excerpt
The possible involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in oxidative stress tolerance was studied using Arabidopsis thaliana wild type (WT) and Atnos1 mutant plants, in which endogenous NO production is greatly diminished because 80% of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity is eliminated due to T-DNA insertion in the first exon of the NOS1 gene. Compared with WT, Atnos1 mutant plants showed increased hypersensitivity to...
