Abstract excerpt
The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha contains two isoforms of the plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX), an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water using plastoquinol as substrate. Phylogenetic analyses showed that one isoform, here called MpPTOXa, is closely related to isoforms occurring in plants and some algae, while the other isoform, here called MpPTOXb, is closely related to the two isoforms...
