PHYSIOLOGICAL ROLE OF NITRIC OXIDE (NO) AT VEGETATIVE ORGANISMS
Abstract
In article the literary data on a physiological role nitric oxide (NO) at vegetative organisms are generalized. Multifunctionality NO at the various organisms, caused by high reactionism of this molecule, its ability to react with proteins and low-molecular substances is emphasized. Questions of participation NO in various physiological processes, possible mechanisms of synthesis NO at plants, interaction with others endogenous molecules, and also the mechanisms preventing toxic effect nitric oxide are considered.
