Nitric Oxide (NO) is a bioactive molecule that has mostly been studied in the plant kingdom during the last decade. It has been extensively demonstrated the role of NO as cellular and inter-cellular messenger involved in many signal transduction pathways operating during plant growth, developmental and stress physiology. However, one of the more important capabilities of NO is related to its chemical nature and ability in keeping redox and cellular homeostasis under stressing situations...
