e0“The role of nitric oxide (NO) and sulfur (S) on stomatal responses and photosynthetic performance was studied in mustard (Brassica juncea L.) in presence or absence of salt stress”
e4“These plants also exhibited increased activity of ATP-sulfurylase (ATPS), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) and optimized NO generation that helped in minimizing oxidative stress”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Combined NO and S more prominently influenced stomatal behaviour, photosynthetic and growth performance, with and without salt stress.
- Intervention effect Plants receiving NO plus S had lower superoxide ion accumulation under salt stress than plants receiving NO or S.
- Intervention effect Combined NO and S produced well-developed chloroplast thylakoids and stacked grana under salt stress, unlike salt-stressed plants.
- Intervention effect Plants receiving NO plus S had increased activity of ATP-sulfurylase, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase.
- Intervention effect Plants receiving NO plus S had increased glutathione reductase activity.
- Intervention effect NO plus S increased the production of cysteine and reduced glutathione through enhanced S-assimilation.
- Mechanism NO influenced photosynthesis under salt stress by regulating oxidative stress, S-assimilation, the antioxidant system and NO generation.
