Nitric oxide, reactive nitrogen species and associated enzymes during plant senescence

Nitric Oxide. 2011 Mar 15;24(2):61-5. doi: 10.1016/j.niox.2011.01.005. Epub 2011 Jan 20.

Abstract

Leaf senescence is often associated with increased oxidative damage to cellular macromolecules by reactive oxygen species. However, very little is known about other radicals: gaseous free radical nitric oxide and related molecules--reactive nitrogen species. This review brings a short survey of the questions.
