Free radical nitric oxide (NO) is a biological messenger with diverse functions in plant physiology, including in stress physiology. Together with NO, related molecules called reactive nitrogen species (RNS), e.g. peroxynitrite or S-nitrosothiols, are associated with plant metabolism under both physiological and stress conditions. These molecules are able to react with wide spectrum of biomolecules, and they may act as a transporters and reservoirs for NO in a broad range of plant cell signalling affairs. It is possible that some of these reactions, nitration and S-nitrosylation, have the same importance as phosphorylation. In this chapter, the current recognition of both the properties, chemical reactions and physiological roles of NO and reactive nitrogen species in plants is reviewed.
