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 …

Alternative oxidase (AOX) is a non-energy conserving terminal oxidase in the plant
mitochondrial electron transport chain. While respiratory carbon oxidation pathways …

The two forms of inorganic arsenic, arsenate (AsV) and arsenite (AsIII), are easily taken up
by the cells of the plant root. Once in the cell, AsV can be readily converted to AsIII, the more …

Mitochondrial respiration in plants provides energy for biosynthesis, and its balance with
photosynthesis determines the rate of plant biomass accumulation. We describe recent …

The inner membrane of a plant mitochondrion contains the mitochondrial electron transport
chain (mtETC), consisting of protein complexes that use an energy source-derived reductant …

In the present chapter, the structures and mechanisms of the major components of
mammalian mitochondrial respiratory chains are reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on …

Abstract Treatment of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) alternative oxidase1a (aox1a)
mutant plants with moderate light under drought conditions resulted in a phenotypic …

Plants are sessile organisms that often receive excessive amounts of light energy. This
excess energy can be exported from the chloroplasts and dissipated by the mitochondrial …

The electron transport chain in mitochondria of different organisms contains a mixture of
common and specialised components. The specialised enzymes form branches to the …

The effect of water stress on respiration and mitochondrial electron transport has been
studied in soybean (Glycine max) leaves, using the oxygen-isotope-fractionation technique …
