A third isoenzyme of Glu dehydrogenase (GDH) is expressed in mitochondria of Arabidopsis root companion cells. A GDH triple mutant differed greatly from the wild type in continuous darkness, suggesting that the main function of the enzyme is to provide 2-oxoglutarate for the tricarboxylic acid cycle, leading to an accumulation of Ala, γ-aminobutyrate, and Asp in both roots and leaves.
