Effects of fusaric acid (FSA) on mitochondrial function of banana embryogenic cell suspensions protoplasts (ECSs). (a) Respiration measurements (OCR) in the presence of 8 μM oligomycin (Oligo), 6 μM FCCP and 5 μM antimycin A (AA), with 50 μM or 300 μM FSA and 0.1% MEOH control. (b) Banana protoplasts treated with 300 μM FSA showed decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). ΔΨm was quantified by comparing the fluorescence intensity of red and green. (c) Banana protoplasts treated with 300 μM FSA showed decreased ATP contents. Data presented in (a–c) are means ± SD from three independent experiment.
