Even though intensive research in the past two decades, knowledge about the role of these two molecules interact with each other in abiotic stress tolerance and the relationship with biological processes aren`t completely elucidated yet. In this paper, H2O2 and NO cross-talk and possible role in plant responses to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, UV irradiation and heavy metals at the level of biosynthesis and gene expression and protein activities are investigated in light of recent literature. In addition, the cross-talk between H2O2 and NO with other signalling pathways in the regulation of abiotic stress responses in plants is also discussed.
