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 …

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

Phosphorus (P) is limiting for crop yield on> 30% of the world's arable land and, by some
estimates, world resources of inexpensive P may be depleted by 2050. Improvement of P …

Temperature-mediated changes in plant respiration (R) are now accepted as an important
component of the biosphere's response to global climate change. Here we discuss the …

Mitochondrial respiration in plants provides energy for biosynthesis, and its balance with
photosynthesis determines the rate of plant biomass accumulation. We describe recent …

ELECTRON ACCEPTOR 3621. Oxygen 'poises' electron transport and carbon assimilation …

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

Organic acids are present in all plants, supporting numerous and varied facets of cellular
metabolism. The type of organic acid found, and the levels to which they accumulate are …

▪ Abstract Plants, some fungi, and protists contain a cyanide-resistant, alternative
mitochondrial respiratory pathway. This pathway branches at the ubiquinone pool and …

A significant portion of the carbohydrates that are produced daily in photosynthesis are
respired in the roots. The magnitude varies with age of the plants, growth conditions, and the …
