The plant hormone ethylene regulates many aspects of plant growth and development. Despite the well-known relationship between ethylene and stress signalling, the involvement of ethylene in regulating stomatal movement is not completely explored. Here, the role and association between nitric oxide (NO) reduction and the inhibition of darkness-induced stomatal closure by ethylene was studied. Physiological data are provided that both ethylene-releasing compound 2-chloroethylene phosphonic acid (ethephon, ETH) and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), the immediate precursor of ethylene, reduced the levels of NO in Vicia faba L. guard cells, and then induced stomatal opening in darkness. In addition, ACC and ETH not only reduced NO levels in guard cells caused by exogenous NO (derived from sodium nitroprusside, SNP) in light, but also abolished NO that had been generated during a dark period and promoted stomatal opening. Interestingly, 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (cPTIO) and hemoglobin (Hb), NO scavenger and the potent scavenger of NO/carbon monoxide (CO), respectively, also reduced NO levels by SNP and darkness. However, the above-mentioned effects of ACC and ETH were dissimilar to that of nitric oxide synthase (enzyme commission 1.14.13.39) inhibitor N-G-nitro-L-Arg-methyl ester (L-NAME), which could neither reduce NO levels by SNP nor abolish NO that had been generated in the dark. Thus, it is concluded that ethylene reduces the levels of NO in V. faba guard cells via a pattern of NO scavenging, then induces stomatal opening in the dark.
