Nitric oxide (NO) has recently joined the select circle of the ubiquitous molecules of plant signalling networks. Indeed, the last decade has produced a tremendous amount of data that evidence the diversity of physiological situations in which NO is involved in plants and the complexity of NO biology. These data also underline our difficulties in providing simple answers to the cardinal questions of where NO comes from and how the NO message is converted into a physiological response. The identification of NO primary targets and NO-regulated genes provides new opportunities to connect NO biochemistry and NO biology. This review summarises our current understanding of NO signalling, from the generation of the NO message to its execution into a cellular response. The review particularly considers whether and how NO may be responsible for specific signalling in different physiological processes.
一氧化氮（NO）最近加入了植物信号网络中无处不在的分子的精选圈子。事实上，过去十年产生了大量的数据，证明了 NO 参与植物的生理情况的多样性以及 NO 生物学的复杂性。这些数据还强调了我们在提供简单答案方面的困难，即 NO 来自何处以及如何将 NO 信息转化为生理反应。NO 主要靶标和 NO 调节基因的鉴定为将 NO 生物化学和 NO 生物学联系起来提供了新的机会。这篇综述总结了我们目前对 NO 信号转导的理解，从 NO 信息的产生到其转化为细胞反应。该综述特别考虑了 NO 是否以及如何在不同的生理过程中负责特定的信号转导。
