Abstract
Active oxygen and active nitrogen species are produced during plant respiration and photosynthesis and accumulate in response to herbicides, biotic and abiotic factors leading to oxidative damage and retardation of plant growth and development. Mitochondria are key targets of this oxidative assault. We propose to use an Arabidopsis cell culture system to: 1) identify and characterise the mitochondrial functions that are damaged by these reactive species in vivo; 2) relate these to changes in the mitochondrial proteome that are induced to maintain mitochondrial function; and 3) identify underpinning biochemical traits that sustain plants under stress conditions.
