Abstract

AbstractThe site of nitric oxide (NO) production in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase and the role of NO in mitochondrial biogenesis are not known in plants. By imposing osmotic stress and recovery on Arabidopsis seedlings we investigated the site of NO production and its role in mitochondrial biogenesis. Osmotic stress reduced growth and mitochondrial number while increasing NO production. During the recovery phase the mitochondrial number increased and this increase was higher in wild type and the high NO‐producing Pgb1 silencing line in comparison to the NO‐deficient nitrate reductase double mutant (nia1/nia2). Application of nitrite stimulated NO production and mitochondrial number in the nia1/nia2 mutant. Osmotic stress induced COX6b3 and COA6‐L genes encoding subunits of COX. The mutants cox6b‐3 and coa6‐l were impaired both in NO production and mitochondrial number during stress to recovery suggesting the involvement of these subunits in nitrite‐dependent NO production. Transcripts encoding the mitochondrial protein import machinery showed reduced expression in cox6b‐3 and coa6‐l mutants. Finally, COX6b‐3 and COA6‐L interacted with the VQ27 motif‐containing protein in the presence of NO. The vq27 mutant was impaired in mitochondrial biogenesis. Our results suggest the involvement of COX derived NO in mitochondrial biogenesis.
