    • Abstract

       

      When the hearts of albino rats are subjected to pressure-induced stress through constriction of ascending aorta, changes in the mitochondrial functions are observed as early as 24 h after the imposition of the stress. These include the abolition of oxidative phosphorylation, decrease in the energy dependent [45Ca]-uptake and decrease in the rate of energized swelling. A large influx of calcium ions and an increase in the fluidity of mitochondrial membranes also occur in this period. At later stages of hypertrophy (17, 28, 40%), these mitochondrial functions gradually return to normal levels.

      Forthcoming Special issue.


    • To trigger further research on plant mitochondria, the Journal of Biosciences is bringing out a special issue titled "Plant Mitochondria: Properties and Interactions with Other Organelles".


      Plant mitochondria are quite distinct and have unique features, such as a cyanide-insensitive alternate pathway. They also interact with chloroplasts to optimize photosynthetic carbon assimilation.


      Submissions are welcome until 30 July 2023. The contributions can be original articles, short communications, reviews, or mini-reviews on any topic related to plant mitochondria.


      Authors can submit their articles online at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jbsc/default2.aspx
