RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Visible light-triggered NO generation from Naphthalimide-based probe for photoreceptor-mediated plant root growth regulation JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 550004 DO 10.1101/550004 A1 Biswas, Suprakash A1 Upadhyay, Neha A1 Kar, Debojyoti A1 Datta, Sourav A1 Koner, Apurba Lal YR 2019 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2019/02/14/550004.abstract AB An efficient visible light-triggered nitric oxide (NO) releasing fluorescent molecule is designed and synthesized by coupling 2,6-dimethyl nitrobenzene moiety at the peri-position of 1, 8-naphthalimide through an alkene bond. The NO-releasing ability is investigated in details using various spectroscopic techniques, and the photoproduct was also characterized. Further, the photo-generated NO has been employed to examine the effect of photoreceptor-mediated NO uptake on plant root growth regulation.
