TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of the mitochondrial respiratory machinery of cells are described, including the presence of a classical oxidative phosphorylation system linked to the cytosol by transporters discussed alongside nonphosphorylating bypasses that alter the efficiency of ATP synthesis and play a role in oxidative stress responses in plants.

TL;DR: This review will combine an analysis of microarray data with information available on protein and enzyme activity patterns in grapes and other fruits, to explore pathways through which malate is conditionally metabolised, and how these may be controlled in response to developmental and climatic changes.

TL;DR: This review presents the current understanding of the alternative NAD(P)H dehydrogenases present in plant mitochondria and shows how this provides a mechanism for plants to remove excess reducing power and balance the redox poise of the cell.

TL;DR: This review considers energy costs of salinity tolerance in crop plants and provides a framework for a quantitative assessment of costs and different sources of energy, and modifications of root system architecture that would maximise water versus ion uptake are addressed.

TL;DR: Early flowering provides a promising strategy for the production of advanced drought-adapted wheat cultivars and can be high both in well-watered and drought-affected field trials, where an efficient strategy of DE was associated with quick growth, yield potential and water use efficiency.
