Abstract excerpt
Plants and numerous fungi including Magnaporthe grisea protect mitochondria from interference by respiration inhibitors by expressing alternative oxidase, the enzymatic core of alternative respiration. The alternative oxidase gene AOXMg of M. grisea was disrupted. Several lines of evidence suggested that the disruption of AOXMg was sufficient to completely curb the expression of alternative respiration. In the...
