Cover Story: Glyphosate has for a long time assumed a leading role in the herbicide industry, and its benefits to the agri-food industry cannot be ignored. However, due to cumulative and increasing application practices, soil contamination by this herbicide is becoming an emerging environmental issue that needs to be critically evaluated. Therefore, sustainable ways to prevent glyphosate non-target toxicity need to be developed to ensure a safer use of this herbicide. Here, using tomato as a nontarget crop model, we show that nitric oxide, when provided as foliar spray, is able to prevent glyphosate macroscopic phytotoxicity, mainly due to its features as a radical scavenger and stimulator of defence mechanisms, thus ensuring the maintenance of the redox homeostasis under herbicide co-exposure.
