Nitroxyl - from a nitric oxide-related derivative to an independent signaling molecule in plants.
Nitric oxide (•NO) is a central regulator of plant development and stress responses, but recent evidence shows that reactive nitrogen signaling involves more than •NO alone. Nitroxyl (HNO), the one-electron-reduced and protonated form of •NO, has emerged as a distinct signaling molecule in plants with unique chemical a...
