RESUMEN
Plant mitochondria are sensitive organelles affected by changing environmental stressors. Upon heat shock or the presence of reactive oxygen species, plant mitochondria undergo in vivo morphological derangements associated with the extensively characterized opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Nevertheless, the classic mitochondrial permeability transition is known to be triggered by calcium overload causing mitochondrial swelling and dysfunction. Here we review evidence concerning calcium handling, permeability transition and mitochondrial impairments in plants, supporting the notion that the mitochondrial morphology transition is an in vivo indicator of the permeability transition.
