Oxidative stress triggered by arsenic in a tropical macrophyte is alleviated by endogenous and exogenous nitric oxide

Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) plays important role in alleviating abiotic stresses in plants, including those caused by arsenic (As). Here, we examined the effects of endogenous and exogenous NO in Spirodela intermedia W. Koch (Lemnaceae) under As exposure. For this purpose, we evaluated the As content, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, membrane damage and enzymatic antioxidant system. The levels of endogenous NO and the activity of nitrate reductase (NR) were also addressed. The As treatment triggered the production … Show more

“…Therefore, we suggest that NO, with the regulation of cells and phytoglobins1 (nonsymbiotic hemoglobins1, nsHbs1), ameliorates the negative effect of Hb on the generation of ROS compounds [ 60 ]. The role of nitric oxide in the scavenging of ROS compounds has been proven by many studies [ 56 , 61 , 62 , 63 ].…”

“…This positive impact can, finally, lead to an increase in plant photosynthesis and plant growth under heavy metal toxicity. The mechanisms involved in the analyses of NO functions are still not completely clear, but there is some evidence suggesting that NO can increase plant resistance to heavy metal toxicity by reducing heavy metal accumulation and ameliorating oxidative stress in plants [ 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 ]. Some parameters, such as bioaccumulation factor (BF), the tolerance index (TI), and translocation factor (TF) evaluate plant phytoremediation potential [ 78 , 79 , 80 ].…”

“…Thus, it is soundly promising that the treatment of THI may induce endogenous NO synthesis, which may be involved in improving stress tolerance of plants as an antioxidant. However, it is believed that oversynthesis of NO can cause damaging effects in plants (da-Silva et al, 2018). Therefore, an optimum level of cellular NO is needed for mitigating the deleterious effects of a stress.…”

“…Similar results were obtained during drought stress in cucumber (Arasimowicz‐Jelonek et al ) and cadmium stress in wheat (Groppa et al ). High salinity was also found to increase arginase activity that converts l ‐arginine to urea and l ‐ornithine, and the latter catalyzes the formation of polyamines (putrescine, spermine and/or spermidine) that in turns oxidizes into NO (da‐Silva et al ). In Arabidopsis transgenic plants wherein availability of arginine was altered via knocking down either of the AtARGAH1 and AtARGAH2 genes encoding arginine amidohydrolase, NO production was found modulated accordingly.…”
