Book cover Plant Microbiome: Stress Response

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 5))

Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO), evolved during various biological processes occuring in soil, bacteria, and plants, is acting as signaling molecule to trigger different essential pathways involved in plant-microbe interactions. Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is present at every developmental stage of plants and plays very important role in their life cycle. This valuable molecule also involved in signaling in response to biotic and abiotic stress in plants. Moreover, NO is very important or said to be a central molecule of nitrogen cycle. The NO is produced during different biological nitrogen transformation processes. Remarkably, the essential information of NO production and its efficient relations with plant and microbes are poorly characterized. This chapter covers the different processes of NO production in soil, bacteria, and plants and their role in different physiological processes. In particular, the role of NO is addressed as a signaling molecule in plant-microbe interactions including legume-rhizobium symbiosis.
