15. ••], establishes NO as a key player in plant defense responses. The authors show that infection of resistant, but not susceptible, tobacco with tobacco mosaic virus results in enhanced NOS activity. Furthermore, NO triggers expression of the defense-related genes encoding PR-1 protein and PAL. These genes are also induced by cGMP and cADPR - two molecules that can serve as second messengers for NO signaling in mammals. Thus, critical players of animal NO signaling are also operative in plants.
16. Delledonne M, Xia Y, Dixon RA, Lamb C Nitric oxide signal functions in plant disease resistance. Nature. 394:1998;585-588. In an elegant set of experiments, the authors demonstrate the involvement of NO and NOS in disease resistance in both soybean suspension cells and Arabidopsis. NO is necessary for the induction of ROS-dependent host cell death. Inhibitors of NOS compromise the hypersensitive resistance response in Arabidopsis. In addition, NO potentiates soybean defense responses by synergizing not only with ROS, but also with SA (or a factor downstream of SA).

Prior P, Elphinstone J, Allen C Bacterial Wilt Disease: Molecular and Ecological Aspects. 1998;218-224 INRA and Springer Editions, Berlin. This paper provides further evidence for the involvement of NO and/or NOS in plant defense responses. Tobacco resisting infection by R. solanacearum exhibits elevated levels of NOS activity, and inhibitors of NOS delay the onset of the hypersensitive response.

The authors provide strong evidence for the existence of NOS in maize. By immunofluorescence microscopy analyses, they demonstrate that the localization of this protein depends on the phase of cell growth. Their experiments suggest that NOS may be involved in the signal transduction pathway that controls root growth and development.
