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 …

Integration of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated signal transduction pathways via
redox sensors and the thiol-dependent signalling network is of increasing interest in cell …

This review summarizes knowledge of alternative oxidase, a mitochondrial electron
transport chain component that lowers the ATP yield of plant respiration. Analysis of mutant …

Metabolic fluctuations in chloroplasts and mitochondria can trigger retrograde signals to
modify nuclear gene expression. Mobile signals likely to be involved are reactive oxygen …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent signaling pathways from chloroplasts and
mitochondria merge at the nuclear protein RADICAL-INDUCED CELL DEATH1 (RCD1) …

Mechanical stimuli, such as wind, rain, and touch affect plant development, growth, pest
resistance, and ultimately reproductive success. Using water spray to simulate rain, we …

Plant submergence stress is a growing problem for global agriculture. During
desubmergence, rising O2 concentrations meet a highly reduced mitochondrial electron …

Respiration rate measurements provide an important readout of energy expenditure and
mitochondrial activity in plant cells during the night. As plants inhabit a changing …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a genetically controlled pathway that plants can use to
selectively eliminate redundant or damaged cells. In addition to its fundamental role in plant …

Besides their central function in respiration, plant mitochondria play a crucial role in
maintaining cellular homeostasis during stress by providing" retrograde" feedback to the …
