This work studied modifications experienced by root mitochondria during whole plant senescence or under light deprivation, using Arabidopsis thaliana plants with YFP tagged to mitochondria. During post bolting development, root respiratory activity started to decline after aboveground organs (i.e., rosette leaves) had senesced. This suggests that carbohydrate starvation may induce root senescence. Similarly, darkening the whole plant induced a decrease in respiration of roots. This was partially due to a decrease in the number of total mitochondria (YFP-labelled mitochondria) and most probably to a decrease in the quantity of mitochondria with a developed inner membrane potential (Delta Psi m, i.e., Mitotracker red labelled mitochondria). Also, the lower amount of mitochondria with Delta Psi m compared to YFP-labelled mitochondria at 10d of whole darkened plant, suggests the presence of mitochondria in a standby state. The experiments also suggest that small mitochondria made the main contribution to the respiratory activity that was lost during root senescence. Sugar supplementation partially restored the respiration of mitochondria after 10d of whole plant dark treatment. These results suggest that root senescence is triggered by carbohydrate starvation, with loss of Delta Psi m mitochondria and changes in mitochondrial size distribution. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
