Abstract excerpt
Nitrate reductase (NR) activity is necessary for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), a key signaling molecule in plants. Here, we investigated the effect of NR deficiency on NO production and phenylpropanoid metabolism of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves. HPLC-mass spectrometry analysis showed that the NR double mutant (nia1 nia2) is deficient in the synthesis of sinapoylmalate (SM), the main phenylpropanoid...
