Gasotransmitters in Plants: Mechanisms of Participation in Adaptive Responses

Plant adaptive responses to environmental stresses occur with the participation of plant hormones and a network signaling mediators. Among these, growing attention has been paid over recent years gasotransmitters (GT). This term is used define small gaseous molecules synthesized by living organisms that perform functions. The main GT in plants are nitrogen monoxide (NO), carbon (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S). mechanisms processes adaptation unfavorable conditions have not yet studied enough, which limits use crop production. review summarizes latest data on synthesis plants, ability induce post-translational protein modifications functionally interact each other Particular regulation antioxidant system, state cytoskeleton, stomatal reactions plants. These effects important for stimulation extreme temperatures, drought, salinity. possibilities using donors production were also considered.
