Isoxazole derivatives as new nitric oxide elicitors in plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles were obtained in good yields by regiospecific 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions between aromatic nitrile oxides, generated in situ from the corresponding hydroxyimidoyl chlorides, with non-symmetrical activated alkynes in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper(I) iodide. Effects of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles on nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species generation in Arabidopsis tissues was studied using specific diaminofluoresceine dyes as fluorescence indicators.

Is ATP a signaling agent in plants?
Physiological processes in plant cells are regulated by intrinsic and extrinsic signals. Numerous signaling molecules have been identified, including hormones, elicitors, and secondary metabolites. Cognate receptors and receptor genes have been reported in some cases (Hua and Meyerowitz, 1998; Inoue et al., 2001; Nam and Li, 2002). Several second messengers (responsible for signal amplification...
متن کاملStomatal Closure and Rise in ROS/NO of Arabidopsis Guard Cells by Tobacco Microbial Elicitors: Cryptogein and Harpin
Plants use stomatal closure mediated by elicitors as the first step of the innate immune response to restrict the microbial entry. We present a comprehensive study of the effect of cryptogein and harpin, two elicitors from microbial pathogens of tobacco, on stomatal closure and guard cell signaling components in Arabidopsis thaliana, a model plant. Cryptogein as well as harpin induced stomatal ...
