Abstract
⺠Knock-out of cytochrome c causes embryo lethality in plants. ⺠Plants with low cytochrome c levels have increased alternative respiration. ⺠Cytochrome c may participate in the assembly/stabilization of Complex IV in plants. ⺠Mutants show reduced ROS levels and induction of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes. ⺠A small amount of cytochrome c is enough to support normal ascorbic acid synthesis.
