▪ Abstract The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as O2− and H2O2, is an
unavoidable consequence of aerobic metabolism. In plant cells the mitochondrial electron …

▪ Abstract Plant mitochondria have a highly branched electron transport chain that provides
great flexibility for oxidation of cytosolic and matrix NAD (P) H. In addition to the universal …

Plants grow using light energy to photosynthetically convert atmospheric CO2 into carbon-
rich compounds (eg carbohydrates) in the chloroplasts. These compounds are then respired …

Mitochondria from various organisms, especially plants, fungi and many bacteria contain so-
called alternative NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductases that catalyse the same redox reaction …

We have examined the expression of three alternative oxidase (aox) genes in two types of
maize mitochondrial mutants. Nonchromosomal stripe (NCS) mutants carry mitochondrial …

We previously have shown that Nicotiana sylvestris cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) mutants I
and II present large mtDNA deletions and that the NAD7 subunit of complex I (the main …

The so-called" alternative" electron transport proteins, the rotenone-insensitive NAD (P) H
dehydrogenases and the alternative oxidase, distinguish the inner membrane of plant …

For the catalytic mechanism of proton-translocat-Ž. ing NADH-dehydrogenase complex I, EC
1.6. 99.3 a number of hypothetical models have been proposed over the last three decades …

In the absence of PSII, non-photochemical reduction of plastoquinones (PQs) occurs
following NADH or NADPH addition in thylakoid membranes of the green alga …

We found that mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) protein and the capacity for CN-
resistant respiration are dramatically increased in wild-type tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) …
