Glutathione is an essential metabolite for plant life best known for its role in the control of
reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glutathione is also involved in the detoxification of …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

The effect of water stress on respiration and mitochondrial electron transport has been
studied in soybean (Glycine max) leaves, using the oxygen-isotope-fractionation technique …

Approximately 40% of a plant's dry mass consists of carbon, fixed in photosynthesis. This
process is vital for growth and survival of virtually all plants during the major part of their …

This review focuses on the biochemical regulation and function of the alternative oxidase in
vivo. About 10 years ago, two activation mechanisms were discovered in isolated …

Nuclear gene–induced variegation mutants provide a powerful system to dissect interactions
between the genetic systems of the nucleus–cytoplasm, the chloroplast, and the …
