Mitochondria affect photosynthesis through altered tissue levels of oxygen

The paper investigates how mitochondrial function affects photosynthesis by altering tissue oxygen levels in Arabidopsis, showing that increased mitochondrial oxygen consumption reduces chloroplast oxygen availability.

A temperature sensitive mutation in the CstF77 subunit of the polyadenylation complex reveals the critical function of mRNA 3' end formation for a robust heat stress response in plants

This study identifies a temperature-sensitive mutation in CstF77 that impairs mRNA 3' end formation, reducing heat stress sensitivity in plants by limiting toxic HSP101 protein accumulation.

Mitochondrial ATP Synthase Subunit d, a Component of the Peripheral Stalk, is Essential for Growth and Heat Stress Tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study shows that the mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit d (ATPd) is essential for Arabidopsis growth and heat stress tolerance, with knockdown plants showing reduced growth, increased ROS, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Mitochondrial nucleoid organization and biogenesis of complex I require mTERF18/SHOT1 and ATAD3 in Arabidopsis thaliana.

This study identifies mTERF18/SHOT1 and ATAD3 homologs as critical for mitochondrial nucleoid organization and complex I biogenesis in Arabidopsis, leading to heat tolerance.
