Fig. 3: Functional interactions among NO, ABA, and GAs during seed germination.
From: Molecular functions of nitric oxide and its potential applications in horticultural crops

NO induces ABA catabolism and promotes GA biosynthesis, leading to dormancy release and germination. The arrows and bars indicate positive and inhibitory effects, respectively. ABA, abscisic acid; GA, gibberellic acid; ROS, reactive oxygen specie
