The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), also known as a mitochondrial porin, plays an important role in the regulation of metabolic and energetic functions of mitochondria, as well as in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is of major economic importance for commercial hybrid production and a research model for the interaction be­tween nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes. Recent research has revealed that CMS is associated with programmed cell death.

VDAC2 involvement in the stress response pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana

Z. Liu, Luo, Q. H., Wen, G. Q., Wang, J. M., Li, X. F., and Yang, Y., VDAC2 involvement in the stress response pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana, vol. 14, pp. 15511-15519, 2015.

The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is the major transport protein in the outer membrane of mitochondria, and is involved in the formation of a permeable transition pore and metabolite transport. In this study, we explored the role of Arabidopsis thaliana VDAC2 (AtVDAC2) in the signal transduction pathway in Arabidopsis under salt stress. We investigated the germination rates of AtVDAC2 transgenic lines under salicylic acid (SA) treatment, and found that AtVDAC2 can affect the sensitivity of Arabidopsis to SA.
