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 …

Mitochondria are energy factories of cells and are important for intracellular interactions with
other organelles. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondria play essential roles in the …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is crucial in plant organogenesis and survival. In this review
the involvement of mitochondria and chloroplasts in PCD execution is critically assessed …

Moonlighting proteins are defined as proteins with two or more functions that are unrelated
and independent to each other, so that inactivation of one of them should not affect the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), and in particular H2O2, serve as essential second
messengers at low concentrations. However, excessive ROS accumulation leads to severe …

The influence of mannose treatment on mitochondrial physiological parameters was
investigated to postpone broccoli senescence. The results showed that mannose treatment …

The functions of mitochondria during leaf senescence, a type of programmed cell death
aimed at the massive retrieval of nutrients from the senescing organ to the rest of the plant …

Different abiotic and biotic stresses lead to the production and accumulation of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) in various cell organelles such as in mitochondria, resulting in …

Introduction Despite the critical role of programmed cell death (PCD) in plant development
and defense responses, its regulation is not fully understood. It has been proposed that …

Rapid developments in nanotechnology have led to the increasing use of nanoparticles
(NPs) in the agricultural sector. For possible interactions between NPs and crops under …
