L-aminoguanidine (AG) is widely used as an inhibitor in studying plant abiotic stress responses, but its exact mode of action is not well understood. It has been used as a specific diamine oxidase inhibitor and for reducing nitric oxide production. Recent studies suggest its antiglycation effect, but this remains unclear in plants. This review provides a summary of current knowledge about the different targets of AG in plants and recommends using it as a modulator of polyamine-related mechanisms.
L-aminoguanidine (AG) is an inhibitor frequently used for investigating plant abiotic stress responses; however, its exact mode of action is not well understood. Many studies used this compound as a specific diamine oxidase inhibitor, whereas other studies used it for reducing nitric oxide (NO) production. Recent studies suggest its antiglycation effect; however, this remains elusive in plants. This review summarises our current knowledge about different targets of AG in plants. Our recommendation is to use AG as a modulator of polyamine-related mechanisms rather than a specific inhibitor. In the future overall investigation is needed to decipher the exact mechanisms of AG. More careful application of AG could give more insight into plant abiotic stress responses.
