SA has been shown to play an important signaling role in the activation of various plant
defense responses following pathogen attack. These responses include the induction of …

Although extensive data has described the key role of salicylic acid (SA) in signaling
pathogen-induced disease resistance, its function in physiological processes related to cell …

Salicylic acid (SA) and related phenolic compounds can excert control over stomatal
opening and previous work in our laborabtory has shown that chronic injection of SA …

Besides the cytochrome c pathway, plant mitochondria have an alternative respiratory
pathway that is comprised of a single homodimeric protein, alternative oxidase (AOX) …

To explore the role of plant mitochondria in the regulation of cellular redox homeostasis and
stress resistance, we exploited a Nicotiana sylvestris mitochondrial mutant. The cytoplasmic …

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 salicylic acid (SA) on respiration and mitochondrial function was examined in
tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) suspension cell cultures in the range of 0.01 to 5 mm. Cells …

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 …

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 …
