Regulation of Metal Stress Toxicity in Plants by Nitric Oxide

Regulation of Metal Stress Toxicity in Plants by Nitric Oxide examines the role of nitric oxide in regulating plant responses to metal toxicity. With a focus on regulation and signaling, this title analyzes how each key step of the plant lifecycle is affected. Recent studies have demonstrated the role of NO in regulating seed germination, nodule formation and nitrogen fixation, reactive oxygen species, Ca and hormone signaling, and their subsequent impacts on plant development under stressed and non-stressed conditions. As further roles of NO are emerging day-by-day in plant developmental processes, this book is a comprehensive source on the latest research.

Metals such as cadmium, arsenic and aluminum are discussed in detail in this book, along with topics such as endogenous NO, exogenous NO, post-translational modifications and crosstalk with other signaling molecules. This title will be an essential read for researchers and students interested in plant biology, particularly plant signaling and regulation.

• Reviews how toxic metals are accumulated inside the plant and how this affects physiological responses
• Provides the latest research on nitric oxide and how it regulates metal toxicity
• Presents the first volume in the newly launched Plant Gasotransmitters series
