Investigating the Role of Alternative Oxidase in Nicotiana tabacum during Light Acclimation

Photosynthetic electron transport produces ATP and NADPH which support carbon fixation by the Calvin Cycle. To avoid over-reduction of the electron transport chain, plants must balance absorption and consumption of light energy. Mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) is a non-energy-conserving elec...
