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

This review summarizes knowledge of alternative oxidase, a mitochondrial electron
transport chain component that lowers the ATP yield of plant respiration. Analysis of mutant …

The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is a crucial component of respiratory metabolism in both
photosynthetic and heterotrophic plant organs. All of the major genes of the tomato TCA …

Despite intense research on the in vitro characterization of regulatory factors modulating the
alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway, the regulation of its activity in vivo is still not fully …

To investigate the role of nitrogen (N) metabolism in the adaptation of photosynthesis to
water stress in rice, a hydroponic experiment supplying with low N (0.72 mM), moderate N …

As a semi-aquatic plant, rice requires water for proper growth, development, and orientation
of physiological processes. Stress is induced at the cellular and molecular level when rice is …

WUEi (intrinsic water use efficiency) is a complex (multi)-trait, that depends on several
physiological processes, driving plant productivity and its relation with a changing …

Photosynthesis and respiration are the hubs of energy metabolism in plants. Drought
strongly perturbs photosynthesis as a result of both diffusive limitations resulting from …

Coronatine (COR) is a chlorosis-inducing phytotoxin that mimics some biological activities of
methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Although MeJA has been reported to alleviate drought stress, it is …

Crop photosynthesis is closely related to leaf water content (LWC), and clarifying the LWC
conditions at critical points in crop photosynthesis has great theoretical and practical value …
