Global InformationChlororespiration information
Chlororespiration is a respiratory process that takes place within plants. Inside plant cells there is an organelle called the chloroplast which is surrounded by the thylakoid membrane. This membrane contains an enzyme called NAD(P)H dehydrogenase which transfers electrons in a linear chain to oxygen molecules.[1] This electron transport chain (ETC) within the chloroplast also interacts with those in the mitochondria where respiration takes place.[2] Photosynthesis is also a process that Chlororespiration interacts with.[2] If photosynthesis is inhibited by environmental stressors like water deficit, increased heat, and/or increased/decreased light exposure, or even chilling stress then chlororespiration is one of the crucial ways that plants use to compensate for chemical energy synthesis.[3][4][5]
