Inhibiting 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase reveals the mechanisms and limits of metabolic plasticity in developing maize kernels
The tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is a central hub of plant metabolism, yet its contribution to energy production and metabolic homeostasis in the hypoxic cereal endosperm remains incompletely understood. Here, the functional importance of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (ODHC), a key enzyme in the TCA cycle,...
