Tonoplast Rafts Stimulate DNA Import into the Mitochondria of Potato Tubers ( Solanum tuberosum)

摘要

The effects of tonoplast and rafts isolated from vacuolar membranes on the import of DNA into mitochondria of potato tubers ( Solanum tuberosum ) were studied. It was shown that the addition of rafts isolated from the tonoplast to mitochondria increased 8-fold the activity of the DNA import into mitochondria as compared to the import in the untreated mitochondria.
