Interspecific somatic hybridization has been performed in potato breeding experiments to
increase plant resistance against biotic and abiotic stress conditions. We analyzed the …

Light is the ultimate source of energy for photosynthetic organisms, but respiration is
fundamental for supporting metabolism during the night or in heterotrophic tissues. In this …

Mitochondrial respiratory complex I catalyzes electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone
and pumps protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space. In particular, the complex …

The Arabidopsis genome encodes> 450 proteins containing the pentatricopeptide repeat
(PPR) motif. The PPR proteins are classified into two groups, termed as P and P Long-Short …

Protein bodies (PBs), the major protein storage organelle in maize (Zea mays) endosperm,
comprise zeins and numerous nonzein proteins (NZPs). Unlike zeins, how NZPs accumulate …

In flowering plants, RNA editing is a post-transcriptional process that selectively deaminates
cytidines (C) to uridines (U) in organellar transcripts. Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) …

Mitochondrial genomes of land plants are large and exhibit a complex mode of gene
organization and expression, particularly at the post-transcriptional level. The primary …

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are one of the largest protein families in land plants.
PPR proteins exhibit sequence-specific RNA-binding activity and are implicated in plant …

Highlights•Plant mitochondrial membranes act as integrators of respiration and cell
physiology.•The outer membrane provides an attachment platform for auxiliary cell …

Complex I (CI) is a large membranous mitochondrial enzyme that serves as the major entry
point for electrons from NADH into the respiratory chain. The CI enzyme is considered to be …
