There are several physiological implications of Nitric oxide (NO) gas have been reported so far in plants. Among these protection of plants from various abiotic and biotic stresses are gaining attention on priority. Presently, drought stress is the most prevalent abiotic stress in plants that affects their growth, development and overall yield. The role of NO in resisting drought stress has been investigated by many researchers. But it is still unclear about the actual involvement of NO in drought stress responses at a whole plant level. This article reviews the defensive role of NO during drought stress in plants.
