More than 40 years of research consolidate nitric oxide (NO) as a signal molecule required in a broad range of physiological processes in plants. This redox-active molecule participates in a myriad of processes including plant development, abiotic stresses and plant-microbe interactions including plant immunity recently reviewed in dedicated articles (Kolbert et al., 2019; Gupta et al., 2020; León and Costa-Broseta, 2020). In this collection, we have gathered contributions from scientists working in diverse aspects of NO biology in photosynthetic organisms in an attempt to spur new collaborations and accelerate science in this field. This Research Topic, Functions of NO in Photosynthetic Organisms, compiles 1 hypothesis and perspectives, 1 opinion article and 5 original research articles, from different countries, that span the research field and give insight into ongoing novel topics in NO plant biology.
