Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plants are able to adapt to the environment dynamically through regulation of their growth and development. Excess copper (Cu(2+)), a toxic heavy metal, induces morphological alterations in plant organs; however, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. With this in mind, the multiple signalling functions of nitric oxide (NO) in plant cells and its possible regulatory role and...
