Mitochondria are key to energy conversion in virtually all eukaryotes. Intriguingly, despite
billions of years of evolution inside the eukaryote, mitochondria have retained their own …

Metazoans exist only with a continuous and rich supply of chemical energy from oxidative
phosphorylation in mitochondria. The oxidative phosphorylation machinery that mediates …

Mitochondria, a nearly ubiquitous feature of eukaryotes, are derived from an ancient
symbiosis. Despite billions of years of cooperative coevolution—in what is arguably the most …

Incompatibilities between mitochondrial and nuclear genes can perturb respiration,
biosynthesis, signaling and gene expression. Here we investigate whether mild mitonuclear …

Mitochondria are organelles that produce cellular energy in the form of ATP through
oxidative phosphorylation, and this primary function is conserved among many taxa …

Evolutionary theory proposes that maternal inheritance of mitochondria will facilitate the
accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations that are harmful to males but benign …

Mitochondrial genes play an essential role in energy metabolism. Variation in the
mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence often exists within species, and this variation can …

Mitochondria are vital organelles for life in eukaryotes, taking centre stage in the process of
cellular respiration. This process is regulated via a series of finely coordinated obligate …

Maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) renders selection blind to mutations
whose effects are limited to males. Evolutionary theory predicts this will lead to the …

In this article, we attempt to classify a potential dimorphism of melatonin production. Thus, a
new concept of “reserve or maximum capacity of melatonin synthetic function” is introduced …
