Abstract: the energy efficiency of respiration. In this paper we review theoretical and experimental studies about the structure and possible function of alternative oxidase. The evidence for specific gene expression dependent on the physiological, developmental and environmental conditions is also described. We underline the physiological role of alternative oxidase as a “survival” protein that allows plants to cope with the stressful environment.

The alternative oxidase lowers mitochondrial reactive oxygen production in plant cells
TL;DR: Evidence is found that AOX plays a role in lowering mitochondrial ROS formation in plant cells, and cells overexpressing AOX were found to have consistently lower expression of genes encoding ROS-scavenging enzymes.
