Nitric Oxide Is Involved in Cadmium-Induced Programmed Cell Death in Arabidopsis Suspension Cultures
Roberto De Michele,E Vurro,Chiara Rigo,Alex Costa,Lisa Elviri,Marilena Di Valentin,Maria Careri,Michela Zottini,Luigi Sanità di Toppi,Fiorella Lo Schiavo +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) cell suspension cultures underwent a process of programmed cell death when exposed to 100 and 150 μm CdCl2 and that this process resembled an accelerated senescence, as suggested by the expression of the markersenescence-associated gene12 (SAG12).
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic engineering of parthenocarpic plants
TL;DR: Transgenic tobacco and eggplants expressing the coding region of the iaaM gene from Pseudomonas syringae pv.
Journal ArticleDOI
H2O2 in plant peroxisomes: an in vivo analysis uncovers a Ca(2+)-dependent scavenging system.
Alex Costa,Ilaria Drago,Smrutisanjita Behera,Michela Zottini,Paola Pizzo,Julian I. Schroeder,Tullio Pozzan,Fiorella Lo Schiavo +7 more
TL;DR: The analyses of HyPer fluorescence ratios allowed us to demonstrate that an intraperoxisomal Ca2+ rise in vivo stimulates catalase activity, increasing peroxisomesomal H2O2 scavenging efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide affects plant mitochondrial functionality in vivo
Michela Zottini,Elide Formentin,Michela Scattolin,Francesco Carimi,Fiorella Lo Schiavo,Mario Terzi +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that nitric oxide affects mitochondrial functionality in plant cells and reduces total cell respiration due to strong inhibition of the cytochrome pathway and modifications are associated with depolarisation of the mitochondrial membrane potential and release of cy tochrome c from mitochondria, suggesting a conserved signalling pathway in plants and animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salicylic acid activates nitric oxide synthesis in Arabidopsis
Michela Zottini,Alex Costa,Roberto De Michele,Maria Ruzzene,Francesco Carimi,Fiorella Lo Schiavo +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that SA induces NO production at least in part through the activity of a NOS-like enzyme and that calcium and CK2 activity are essential components of the signalling cascade.
