Transcription profiling of Cd-induced nitric oxide synthesis in Arabidopsis

ABSTRACT: Cadmium treatment induces slow but long lasting nitric oxide production in plant tissues. This NO production can be suppressed using the commonly used Nitric Oxide Synthase inhibitor L-NAME. This inhibitor tends to partially alleviate Cd toxicity. This effect is correlated with a strong diminution of Cd content in roots of plants treated both with Cd and L-NAME compared to roots from plants treated with Cd only. The main goal of this study is the identification of transcriptionnal changes caused by Cd-induced nitric oxide, and that could potentially result in enhanced Cd root accumulation.
