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 …

Mitochondria are a quantitatively relevant source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the
majority of cell types. Here we review the sources and metabolism of ROS in this organelle …

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

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

In living cells, reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in signaling but these
compounds can also damage macromolecules. As in other compartments, the mitochondrial …

The respiratory pathways of glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and mitochondrial
electron transport chain (miETC) are central features of carbon metabolism and …

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 …

In animals, electron transfer from NADH to molecular oxygen proceeds via large respiratory
complexes in a linear respiratory chain. In contrast, most fungi utilise branched respiratory …

The alternative pathway of mitochondrial electron transport, which terminates in the
alternative oxidase (AOX), uncouples oxidation of substrate from mitochondrial ATP …
