The Effects of Drought Stress on Respiration of Isolated Corn Mitochondria 1

RESUMO

Mitochondria were isolated from etiolated corn shoots (Zea mays L.) that were stressed to a measured water potential. The rates of mitochondrial respiration in state III, state IV, and without phosphate or ADP on a milligram protein basis decreased as water stress increased with succinate, malatepyruvate, or reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide as substrates. Coupling (as determined by respiratory control and ADP/O ratios) did not decrease with increasing water stress. At water potentials greater than −35 bars all respiration had ceased.
