Microscopic image of the mitochondria in a root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana.

The interior of the mitochondria (matrix) is marked by a fluorescent protein.

Microscopic image of mitochondria (green) and chloroplasts (red) in mesophyll cells in a leaf of Arabidopsis thaliana. The interior of the mitochondria (matrix) is marked by a fluorescent protein; in the chloroplasts, the chlorophyll fluoresces.

Microscopic image of the mitochondria in a root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana. The interior of the mitochondria (matrix) is marked by a fluorescent protein. This protein indicates the local calcium ion concentration, which is shown here by a colour gradient (blue: low, white: high).
