Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO), an endogenous signaling molecule in animals and plants, mediates responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Our previous work demonstrated that 100 microM sodium nitroprusside (SNP, an NO donor) treatment of maize seedlings increased K(+) accumulation in roots, leaves and sheathes, while decreasing Na(+) accumulation (Zhang et al. in J Plant Physiol Mol Biol 30:455-459, 2004b). Here we investigate how NO regulates Na(+), K(+) ion homeostasis in maize. Pre-treatment with 100 muM SNP for 2 days improved later growth of maize plants under 100 mM NaCl stress, as indicated by increased dry matter accumulation, increased chlorophyll content, and decreased membrane leakage from leaf cells. An NO scavenger, methylene blue (MB-1), blocked the effect of SNP. These results indicated that SNP-derived NO enhanced maize tolerance to salt stress. Further analysis showed that NaCl induced a transient increase in the NO level in maize leaves. Both NO and NaCl treatment stimulated vacuolar H(+)-ATPase and H(+)-PPase activities, resulting in increased H(+)-translocation and Na(+)/H(+) exchange. NaCl-induced H(+)-ATPase and H(+)-PPase activities were diminished by MB-1. 1-Butanol, an inhibitor of phosphatidic acid (PA) production...Continue Reading
