Gas Alert: The NO2 Pitfall during NO Fumigation of Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Physiological functions of nitric oxide (NO) in plants are often investigated by using chemical NO donors (Feelisch, 1998; Floryszak-Wieczorek et al., 2006) or fumigation of plants with NO gas (Huang et al., 2004; Palmieri et al., 2008; Vitor et al., 2013; Frungillo et al., 2014; Kasten et al., 2016; Krasuska et al., 2016; León et al., 2016; Melo et al., 2016). Treatment with gaseous NO has the advantage of being non-invasive and timeas well as cost effective. However, NO can react with airoxygen resulting in the rise of toxic nitrogen dioxide (NO2; Groß et al., 2013; Heinrich et al., 2013). In human medicine NO2 formation is a well-established risk factor during NO inhalation as a cure against pulmonary diseases (Schedin et al., 1999; Sokol et al., 1999). The damaging effect of NO2 on plants has been frequently demonstrated (Wellburn, 1990; Xu et al., 2010; Liu et al., 2015; Kasten et al., 2016). In this current opinion article fumigation approaches were critically re-evaluated with a special focus on contaminations of NO-enriched air with NO2. Potential artifacts and data misinterpretation due to unintended co-treatment of plants with both gases are highlighted.

متن کاملProcedures of Laboratory Fumigation for Pest Control with Nitric Oxide Gas
Nitric oxide (NO) is a newly discovered fumigant for postharvest pest control. This paper provides detailed protocols for conducting NO fumigation on fresh products and procedures for residue analysis and product quality evaluation. An airtight fumigation chamber containing fresh fruit and vegetables is first flushed with nitrogen (N2) to establish an ultralow oxygen (ULO) environment followed ...

Heather (Calluna 6ulgaris) was grown in pots in a natural heathland soil and exposed in outdoor fumigation chambers (‘solardomes’) to 40 nl l of both nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) simultaneously. Plants exposed to NO2 and SO2 for 8 months over a growing season (February–November) showed increases in the growth of shoots (+37%) and the whole plant (+15%) and a raised ratio of ...

Proteins can be nitrated by air pollutants (NO2), enhancing their allergenic potential. This work provides 15 insight into protein nitration and subsequent decomposition in the presencet of solar radiation. We also investigated 16 light-induced formation of nitrous acid (HONO) from protein surfaces that were nitrated either online with 17 instantaneous gas phase exposure to NO2 or offline by an...

Cucumber plants subjected to consecutive monoculture for 9 years were found to suffer from severe Fusarium wilt disease, caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cucumerinum J. H. Owen. In the present study, greenhouse experiments were performed to evaluate the influence of ammonia gas fumigation on Fusarium wilt suppression, fungal abundance and fungal community composition.
