Nitric oxide acts as an antioxidant and inhibits programmed cell death induced by aluminum in the root tips of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Abstract Aluminum (Al) causes programmed cell death (PCD) in plants. Our previous studies have confirmed that nitric oxide (NO) inhibits Al-induced PCD in the root tips of peanut. However, the mechanism by which NO inhibits Al-induced PCD is unclear. Here the effects of NO on mitochondrial reactive...
