Natural variation in Caenorhabditis briggsae mitochondrial form and function suggests a novel model of organelle dynamics.

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial functioning and morphology are known to be connected through cycles of organelle fusion and fission that depend upon the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨM); however, we lack an understanding of the features and dynamics of natural mitochondrial populations. Using data from our recent study of univariate mitochondrial phenotypic variation in Caenorhabditis briggsae nematodes, we analyzed patterns...
