Gasotransmitters in Plants The Rise of a New Paradigm in Cell Signal
This book describes the three gasotransmitters nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and carbon monoxide (CO) and their function as intracellular signalling molecules in plants.Common properties are shared by NO, H2S and CO: they are beneficial at lo

Preface
Gasotransmitters were born as cytotoxic compounds; however, there is enough evidence accumulated in many laboratories worldwide during the last quarter of century demonstrating their potential capacity as cytoprotective molecules and, thus, as essential components of cell homeostasis. Research is, after all, a rediscovery; and gasotransmitters have emerged in plant research for rediscovering many, yet incompletely deciphered, signal transduction pathways of central physiological processes all along the plant life cycle. Even if the term gasotransmitter refers to gaseous signaling molecules formed endogenously by uni- or pluricellular organisms, the influence of exogenously supplied gases that can be perceived by cells and are also able to transmit signals fr
