Effects of water deficiency on mitochondrion functions and polymorphism of respiratory enzymes in plants

Abstract

The adaptive-compensatory responses of plants to stress always involve additional energy expenditure. An association between the genetic variability of respiratory enzymes and their functions is conjectured. The intraspecies genetic polymorphism in Kochia prostrata (L.) Schrad. growing under drought conditions has been studied by using marker proteins that work as respiratory enzymes. Special attention is placed on four of eight enzyme markers examined, which form a predominant combination of genotypes: Dia B (a), G6pd (a), Gdh (c), and Mdh A (a). The frequencies of these genotypes in all populations from arid and semiarid regions vary within 0.53–1.0; that is, they constitute over 50% of the whole diversity of combinations. Thus, it seems plausible that this combination of genotypes can be adaptive for K. prostrata populations growing in arid habitats. A characteristic feature of these enzymes is that they all belong to NAD(P)+-depending oxidoreductases, which play key roles in the operation and redox regulation of respiratory metabolism in the course of adaptation to water deficiency. It is suggested that such properly balanced coadaptive genotype combinations, which produce energetically important enzymes, determine the energy and redox balances during adaptation to drought stress.
