Abstract excerpt
The mosaic MSC16 cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) mutant, which houses a rearranged mitochondrial genome, has altered respiratory chain activity, with a dysfunctional Complex I, increased external NADH dehydrogenases (ND(ex)) activity, and a higher alternative oxidase (AOX) capacity and AOX protein level. In the present study, changes in oxidative defense metabolism resulting from the respiratory chain dysfunction...
