RESUMO

NADH or succinate oxidation and malate oxidation were differentially affected in mitochondria from both susceptible and resistant corn by a purified and chemically characterized preparation of host-specific toxin from Bipolaris (Helminthosporium) maydis, race T. NADH and succinate oxidation by susceptible T corn mitochondria were stimulated 50 to 200% with apparent uncoupling from the cytochrome chain at ≃10−9m toxin (5 to 20 ng/ml). Significant inhibition of malate oxidation was observed at slightly higher toxin concentrations, but oxidation was still coupled to ADP utilization. Inhibition of malate oxidation also was observed in N corn (resistant) and soybean mitochondria at ≃1,000-fold greater concentrations, but stimulation of NADH and succinate oxidation was not found at any toxin concentration tested.
