“…Meanwhile, as a physiological regulator, NO signaling is involved in mediating stomatal closure (Noelia et al, 2015 ; Shi K. et al, 2015 ; Chen et al, 2016 ), pollen tube growth (Wang et al, 2009 ). Also, NO plays an essential role in plant disease resistance (Rasul et al, 2012 ; Kovacs et al, 2015 ) and responses to various abiotic stresses such as cold (Fan et al, 2015 ), heat (Yu et al, 2015 ), salt (Liu W. et al, 2015 ), drought (Shan et al, 2015 ), UV-B (Esringu et al, 2015 ) and heavy metal (Alemayehu et al, 2015 ; Chen et al, 2015 ; Kaur et al, 2015 ). These studies have paved the way to understand the signaling roles of NO which may affect cell metabolism, cellular redox balance and gene expression in plants.…”
