Fig. 7: Major similarities and differences in mitochondrial metabolism between loose-skinned and tight-skinned citrus fruits.
From: Isolation and comparative proteomic analysis of mitochondria from the pulp of ripening citrus fruit
Proteins identified in all species were mainly involved in oxidative phosphorylation, the TCA cycle and pyruvate metabolism, indicating that mitochondrial energy metabolism is conserved among different citrus fruits. The DAPs between loose-skinned and tight-skinned citrus fruits were mainly associated with fatty acid and amino acid metabolism, implying differences in mitochondrial metabolism between the two types of citrus fruit
