Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) as a key signaling molecule plays crucial roles in plant growth and development. A decade-long investigation focused on the signal transduction pathway of NO. In plants， the signaling of NO mostly be realized via a cGMP-dependent pathway， until recently researchers are beginning to unravel the mechanisms underlying the cGMP-independent pathway. In this pathway， NO exerts its cellular effects through interacts with target proteins directly. This review discusses the post-translational modification of proteins triggered by NO， which includes metal nitrosylation， S-nitrosylation and tyrosine nitration in plants.
