Effects of nitric oxide on zinc tolerance of the submerged macrophyte Hydrilla verticillata

Heavy metal pollution has become an increasingly recognized threat to the aquatic environment. In response to heavy metal stresses, various terrestrial plants produce the hormone nitric oxide (NO), but minimal information is available about the role of NO in aquatic macrophytes under high zinc (Zn)...
