Journal ArticleDOI

Polyamines Induce Rapid Biosynthesis of Nitric Oxide (NO) in Arabidopsis thaliana Seedlings

TL;DR: It is observed that PAs induced NO biosynthesis in specific tissues in Arabidopsis seedlings, and spermine, the most active PA, stimulated NO release with no apparent lag phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antifungal activity of PvD1 defensin involves plasma membrane permeabilization, inhibition of medium acidification, and induction of ROS in fungi cells.

TL;DR: The defensin PvD1 is able to inhibit glucose-stimulated acidification of the medium by yeast cells and filamentous fungi, as well as to induce the production of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide in C. albicans and F. oxysporum cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyamine effects on the endogenous polyamine contents, nitric oxide release, growth and differentiation of embryogenic suspension cultures of Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Ktze.

TL;DR: It was observed that embryonic cells of A. angustifolia accumulated more NO than the suspensor cells, suggesting that NO biosynthesis might be related to the maintenance of the polarity (embryonic–suspensor cells) present at the PEM II stage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyamine effects on growth and endogenous hormones levels in Araucaria angustifolia embryogenic cultures

TL;DR: PAs supplemented to a PGR-free BM medium, mainly Put and Spm, increased the endogenous IAA and ABA levels, showing a direct relationship -between PAs levels and A BA accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Humic acid effect on catalase activity and the generation of reactive oxygen species in corn (Zea mays).

TL;DR: The results of this experiment indicate that the effects of HA are dependent on ROS generation, which act as a messenger that induces root growth and the emission of LRs.
