The study of plant mitochondria started in earnest around 1950 with the first isolations of
mitochondria from animal and plant tissues. The first 35 years were spent establishing the …

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays crucial roles in plant development and defence
response. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during normal plant growth, and …

In autophagy, cytoplasmic components of eukaryotic cells are transported to lysosomes or
the vacuole for degradation. Autophagy is involved in plant tolerance to the photooxidative …

Ethylene and reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate seed dormancy alleviation, but the
molecular basis of their action and crosstalk remains largely unknown. Here we studied the …

Underground early development of higher plants includes two distinct developmental
processes, seed germination and then skotomorphogenesis, a mechanism which favours …

Despite the significant progress that has been made in the genome sequencing of Prunus,
this area of research has been lacking a systematic description of the mitochondrial genome …

Plant mitochondria harbour complex metabolic routes that are interconnected with those of
other cell compartments, and changes in mitochondrial function remotely influence …

Strain degeneration has been defined as a decrease or loss in the yield of important
commercial traits resulting from subsequent culture, which ultimately leads to Reactive …

Ozone is a secondary air pollutant, which causes oxidative stress in plants by producing
reactive oxygen species (ROS) starting by an external attack of leaf apoplast. ROS have a …

Metabolism, auxin signaling and reactive oxygen species (ROS) all contribute to plant
growth, and each is linked to plant mitochondria and the process of respiration. Knockdown …
