All plants and animals respire, releasing energy from food. At the cellular level, this process occurs in the mitochondria. But there are differences at the molecular level between how plants and animals extract energy from food sources. Discovering those differences could help revolutionize agriculture.
“Plant respiration is a crucial process biologically for growth, for biomass accumulation,” said Maria Maldonado, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of James Letts, assistant professor in the…
