Abstract excerpt
The CMSII mutant of Nicotiana sylvestris, which lacks a functional mitochondrial complex I, was used to investigate chloroplast-mitochondria interactions in light acclimation of photosynthetic carbon assimilation. CMSII and wild-type (WT) plants were grown at 80 micromol m(-2) s(-1) photosynthetic active radiation (PAR; 80) and 350 micromol m(-2) s(-1) PAR (350). Carbon assimilation at saturating PFD was markedly...
