Mitochondrial genotype and phenotypic plasticity of gene expression in response to cold acclimation in killifish.

Abstract excerpt

Adjustments of aerobic metabolic processes are critical components of organismal responses to environmental change that require tight coordination between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. Intraspecific differences in mitochondrial genotype can affect gene transcription in both genomes. Thus, variation in mitochondrial genotype may be associated with differences in the plasticity of gene expression when...
