Description

A study was made on preparations of mitochondria isolated from etiolated pea seedlings, of the effect of X-radiation on the values of the respiratory control and ADP/O ratio. There were no statistically reliable variations in oxidizing and phosphorylating activity after exposure of isolated mitochondria to a dose of 20 kR. Nevertheless, changes in the values of the respiratory control and ADP/O ratio in irradiated mitochondria were manifested immediately after the structures were placed in a cold hypotonic mannitol solution (0.15 M) without EDTA. Discussed is the mode of action of hypotonic treatment on the manifestation of the oxidizing and phosphorylating activity of mitochondria
