The growth regulator, salicylic acid (SA) plays an important role in the induction of cell death
in plants. Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by mitochondrial electron transport …

Background and Aims Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in triggering cell death.
To visualize mitochondrial behaviour under ROS stress, transgenic arabidopsis plants …

Mitochondria constitute a major source of reactive oxygen species and have been proposed
to integrate the cellular responses to stress. In animals, it was shown that mitochondria can …

Plant survival under heat stress requires the activation of proper defence mechanisms to
avoid the impairment of metabolic functions. Heat stress leads to the overproduction of …

Plant mitochondria constitute a major source of ROS and are proposed to act as signaling
organelles in the orchestration of defense response. At present, the signals generated and …

Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) lacking mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX)
have been compared with wild-type (Wt) tobacco using two different systems, either …

Potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum) mitochondria (PTM) have a mitochondrially bound
hexokinase (HK) activity that exhibits a pronounced sensitivity to ADP inhibition. Here we …

Recent results have identified mitochondria as centers of stress-induced generation of
reactive oxygen species in plants. Depolarization of plant mitochondrial membrane during …

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 …

Mitochondria play important roles in animal apoptosis and are implicated in salicylic acid
(SA)-induced plant resistance to viral pathogens. In a previous study, we demonstrated that …
