Plant mitochondria play a major role during respiration by producing the ATP required for
metabolism and growth. ATP is produced during oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), a …

Seed germination is an energy demanding process that requires functional mitochondria
upon imbibition. However, how mitochondria fine tune seed germination, especially in …

The splicing of organelle-encoded mRNA in plants requires proteins encoded in the
nucleus. The mechanism of splicing and the factors involved are not well understood …

During seed germination, proteins are translated not only from mRNAs newly transcribed
upon imbibition but also from long-lived mRNAs that are synthesized during seed maturation …

Previous studies have documented mitochondrial dysfunction during the critical node (CN)
of rice (Oryza sativa) seed aging, including a decrease in the capacity of NADH dependent …

We address here organellar genetic regulation and intercompartment genome coordination.
We developed earlier a strategy relying on a tRNA-like shuttle to mediate import of nuclear …

Group II introns are particularly plentiful within plant mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs),
where they interrupt the coding-regions of many organellar genes, especialy within complex …

Plant metabolites can be divided into two groups: the primary metabolites needed for vital
cell functions and their maintenance and secondary metabolites that are not involved in …

Zjawisko cytoplazmatyczno-jądrowej męskiej sterylności (CMS) u roślin charakteryzuje się
upośledzeniem rozwoju pełnowartościowego pyłku. To zaburzenie jest wynikiem …
