Abstract. Plant mitochondrial biology is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by advances in genomics, structural biology, quantitative imaging, and ge

We're funding 19 teams of world-leading experts spanning fields from mitochondrial and engineering biology to nanotechnology. Explore the projects we're funding in the Precision Mitochondria programme.

Cellular organelle content is fairly constant within a given cell type. This is accomplished in part by ensuring equitable organelle partitioning during division. Much of our understanding of organell...

Mitochondrial function depends on the maintenance of its genome, and disruptions in copy number and distribution are hallmarks of mitochondrial disorders. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication is spat...

Maternal inheritance of mitochondria breaks down in the cold when a mitochondrial DNA degrading nuclease is defective, resulting in biparental inheritance that can rescue mitochondrial mutations and g...

Plants close their stomata to block pathogen entry, but how this defence is supported at the organelle level remains unclear. Our study reveals that immune signalling promotes MIRO1-dependent mitochon...

The transition to holoparasitism in plants precipitates the loss of photosynthesis, fundamentally altering the selective landscape acting on organellar genomes. These changes raise questions about the...

Subject to an ever-changing world, plants must respond to harmful conditions and environmental fluctuations. Their evolutionary success can be attributed to their plasticity in both perceiving and in...

Andersson et al. show that intestinal stem cells enriched for old mitochondria are metabolically distinct and have enhanced ability to regenerate the epithelial niche.

Plant mitochondria are in continuous motion. While providing ATP to other cellular processes, they also constantly consume ATP to move rapidly within the cell. This movement is in part related to tak....

ARMC1 partitions between distinct outer mitochondrial membrane complexes and the cytosol to control mitochondrial distribution.
