Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Maize root-tip mitochondria were heterogeneous on Percoll density gradients.
- Observation The mitochondrial ultrastructure was consistent with different maturation stages during cell development.
- Observation Higher-density mitochondria had many cristae and a dense matrix.
- Observation Higher-density mitochondria had classic respiratory properties but low ADP/O ratios.
- Observation Lower-density mitochondria had few cristae and a clear matrix.
- Observation Lower-density mitochondria respired slowly with weak respiratory control.
- Intervention effect Higher-density mitochondria retained ultrastructure and most respiratory properties during glucose starvation.
- Intervention effect Lower- and intermediate-density mitochondria were absent after glucose starvation.
- Intervention effect Total mitochondrial protein per root tip decreased during glucose starvation.
- Observation A significant functional mitochondrial pool remained in maize root tips during early glucose starvation.
