Mitochondrial function refers to the biochemical processes carried out by mitochondria, including cellular respiration, ATP production, and metabolic regulation within plant cells. In plants, mitochondria play a particularly critical role due to their tight coordination with chloroplasts, influencing energy balance, stress responses, and carbon metabolism. Understanding mitochondrial function helps researchers improve crop resilience, optimize photosynthetic efficiency, and unravel how plants adapt to environmental challenges.
