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

Organic acids are present in all plants, supporting numerous and varied facets of cellular
metabolism. The type of organic acid found, and the levels to which they accumulate are …

Agriculture is expanding into regions that are affected by salinity. This review considers the
energetic costs of salinity tolerance in crop plants and provides a framework for a quantitative …

▪ Abstract Plant mitochondria have a highly branched electron transport chain that provides
great flexibility for oxidation of cytosolic and matrix NAD(P)H. In addition to the universal …

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

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 precursor …

Methoxypyrazines (MPs) are volatile, grape-derived aroma compounds that contribute to
the distinct herbaceous characters of some wines. Although the full pathway leading to MP …

Background Fresh fruits are well accepted as a good source of the dietary antioxidant ascorbic
acid (Asc, Vitamin C). However, fruits such as grapes do not accumulate exceptionally …

Methoxypyrazines are a family of potent volatile compounds of diverse biological significance.
They are used by insects and plants in chemical defence, are present in many vegetables …

In addition to the classical electron transport pathway coupled to ATP synthesis, plant
mitochondria have an alternative pathway that involves type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases (NDs) …
