Qualitative and quantitative modifications of root mitochondria during senescence of above-ground parts of Arabidopis thaliana

This work studied modifications experienced by root mitochondria during whole plant senescence orunder light deprivation, using Arabidopsis thaliana plants with YFP tagged to mitochondria. During post-bolting development, root respiratory activity started to decline after aboveground organs (i.e., r...

description This work studied modifications experienced by root mitochondria during whole plant senescence orunder light deprivation, using Arabidopsis thaliana plants with YFP tagged to mitochondria. During post-bolting development, root respiratory activity started to decline after aboveground organs (i.e., rosetteleaves) had senesced. This suggests that carbohydrate starvation may induce root senescence. Similarly, darkening the whole plant induced a decrease in respiration of roots. This was partially due to a decreasein the number of total mitochondria (YFP-labelled mitochondria) and most probably to a decrease inthe quantity of mitochondria with a developed inner membrane potential (ΔΨm, i.e., Mitotracker red-labelled mitochondria). Also, the lower amount of mitochondria with ΔΨm compared to YFP-labelled mitochondria at 10d of whole darkened plant, suggests the presence of mitochondria in a “standby state”. The experiments also suggest that small mitochondria made the main contribution to the respiratory activity that was lost during root senescence. Sugar supplementation partially restored the respiration of mitochondria after 10d of whole plant dark treatment. These results suggest that root senescence is triggered by carbohydrate starvation, with loss of ΔΨm mitochondria and changes in mitochondrial size distribution.
