Although plant cell bioenergetics is strongly affected by abiotic stresses, mitochondrial
metabolism under stress is still largely unknown. Interestingly, plant mitochondria may …

Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are membrane proteins that mediate purine nucleotide-
sensitive free fatty acid-activated H+ flux through the inner mitochondrial membrane. After …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate biotrophs that participate in a highly
beneficial root symbiosis with 80% of land plants. Strigolactones are trace molecules in plant …

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

Plant mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP) is activated by superoxide suggesting that it
may function to minimize mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. However …

The intramitochondrial location of putative type II NAD (P) H dehydrogenases (NDs) in
Arabidopsis was investigated by measuring the ability of isolated mitochondria to take up …

Among the various abiotic stresses, low temperature is one of the major environmental
constraints that limit the plant development and crop productivity. Plants are able to adapt to …

Environmental stress is an inescapable reality for most plants growing in natural settings.
Conditions of sub-or supraoptimal temperatures, water deficit, water logging, salinity, and …

The alternative pathway is a cyanide-resistant and non-phosphorylatory electron transport
pathway in mitochondria of higher plants. Alternative oxidase (AOX) is the terminal oxidase …

Gene expression, protein synthesis, and activities of alternative oxidase (AOX), uncoupling
proteins (UCP), adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT), and non-coupled NAD (P) H …
