Nitric Oxide is Involved in Nitrate-induced Inhibition of Root Elongation in Zea mays

摘要

Background and AimsRoot growth and development are closely dependent upon nitrate supply in the growth medium. To unravel the mechanism underlying dependence of root growth on nitrate, an examination was made of whether endogenous nitric oxide (NO) is involved in nitrate-dependent growth of primary roots in maize.
