NO released in solution from seedling roots bathed in varied concentrations of Hb was estimated using NO specific probe MnIP-Cu ex. 330 nm, em. 460 nm. c Conversion of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) to methemoglobin in the presence of NO. d Absorbance peak for formation of methemoglobin in the presence of NO released from seedling roots in the solution bathed in varying concentrations of hemoglobin (250 ¦ÌM to 3 mM) separately. e Increase in methemoglobin formation as a consequence of NO release from seedling roots in the bathing solution containing variable concentrations of hemoglobin (Hb).
