TY - JOUR T1 - Visible light-triggered NO generation from Naphthalimide-based probe for photoreceptor-mediated plant root growth regulation JF - bioRxiv DO - 10.1101/550004 SP - 550004 AU - Suprakash Biswas AU - Neha Upadhyay AU - Debojyoti Kar AU - Sourav Datta AU - Apurba Lal Koner Y1 - 2019/01/01 UR - http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2019/02/14/550004.abstract N2 - 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. ER -
