Multifaceted Roles of Nitric Oxide in Plants

In this special issue, a collection of reviews and research papers summarize recent advances in our knowledge of plant NO production and degradation pathways, examine NO signaling mechanisms, and highlight its crosstalk with reactive oxygen species, hydrogen sulfide, and hormone-signaling processes for regulation of plant growth and responses to external stimuli.

Latest virtual issue
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions

This virtual issue of Journal of Experimental Botany focuses on research that tackles the consequences of plant-microbe interactions, for both plant-mutualist and plant-pathogen scenarios. Moving from the study of key molecules and mechanisms underlying the balance, to the study of niche dynamics, it looks at the insights that could enable engineering of more robust crops in the future.
