The most conspicuous function of plastids is the oxygenic photosynthesis of chloroplasts, yet
plastids are super-factories that produce a plethora of compounds that are indispensable for …

The alternative pathway of mitochondrial electron transport, which terminates in the
alternative oxidase (AOX), uncouples oxidation of substrate from mitochondrial ATP …

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 …

Plant mitochondria contain non-phosphorylating bypasses of the respiratory chain,
catalysed by the alternative oxidase (AOX) and alternative NADH dehydrogenases (NDH) …

The emergence of Arabidopsis as a model plant provides an opportunity to gain insights into
the role of the alternative oxidase that cannot be as readily achieved in other plant species …

Over the past 20 years, researchers investigating the mitochondria of plants have been
astonished by the phenomenal variation these organelles display relative to their …

This review focuses on the biochemical regulation and function of the alternative oxidase in
vivo. About 10 years ago, two activation mechanisms were discovered in isolated …

It is well known that intracellular signaling from chloroplast to nucleus plays a vital role in
stress responses to survive environmental perturbations. The chloroplasts were proposed as …

Methyl salicylate (MeSA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) vapors increased resistance against
chilling injury in freshly harvested green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv Century). The …

The alternative oxidase (Aox) is encoded in two discrete gene subfamilies in higher plants.
Aox1 is most widely known for its induction by stress stimuli in many tissues and is present in …
