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 …

The inner membrane of a plant mitochondrion contains the mitochondrial electron transport
chain (mtETC), consisting of protein complexes that use an energy source-derived reductant …

Desiccation-tolerance, the ability to revive from the air-dried state, is found in prokaryotes,
algae and bryophytes, and occasionally in pteridophytes, but is very rare in the vegetative …

Plants are sessile organisms that often receive excessive amounts of light energy. This
excess energy can be exported from the chloroplasts and dissipated by the mitochondrial …

Plant mitochondria contain non-phosphorylating bypasses of the respiratory chain,
catalysed by the alternative oxidase (AOX) and alternative NADH dehydrogenases (NDH) …

Significance: Reactive oxygen species (ROS), important signaling molecules in plants, are
involved in developmental control and stress adaptation. ROS production can trigger broad …

Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) occur in the inner mitochondrial membrane and dissipate the
proton gradient across this membrane that is normally used for ATP synthesis. Although the …

Peroxiredoxins (Prx) have recently moved into the focus of plant and animal research in the
context of development, adaptation, and disease, as they function both in antioxidant …

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