Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Ethephon caused time- and dose-dependent stomatal closure under light.
- Intervention effect The NO scavenger cPTIO reduced ethylene-induced stomatal closure.
- Intervention effect The nitrate reductase inhibitor NaN3 reduced ethylene-induced stomatal closure.
- Intervention effect Extracellular Ca2+ chelation with EGTA reduced ethylene-induced stomatal closure.
- Intervention effect Ethylene enhanced nitric oxide levels.
- Intervention effect Nitrate reductase inhibition diminished ethylene-induced NO production in guard cells and leaves.
- Intervention effect Compromising calcium reduced ethylene-induced NO levels.
- Intervention effect Compromising calcium reduced nitrate reductase activity.
- Mechanism Nitrate reductase-derived NO may act downstream of calcium in ethylene-induced stomatal movement.
