The plastid genome of modern higher plants remains well conserved, with little interspecific variation in genomic organization and coding capacity. Identical copies of the plastid genome are present in a diverse array of plastid transformation types proplastids (precursor plastids found in most plant cells and present predominantly in meristematic tissues).

As mentioned previously, toxicity is a relative event that depends not only on the toxic properties of the chemical and the dose administered but also on individual and interspecific variation in the metabolic processing of the chemical. The first recognition of the relationship between the dose of a compound and the response elicited has been attributed to Paracelsus (see Section 1.1.3). It is noteworthy that his statement includes not only that all substances can be toxic at some dose but that the right dose differentiates a poison from a remedy, a concept that is the basis for pharmaceutical therapy.

Individual mitochondrial enzymes such as the lipid-requiring enzyme cytochrome C oxidase exhibit interspecific variation in ABTs similar to that seen for mitochondrial oxygen consumption (O Brien et al., 1991 Dahlhoff and Somero, 1993b). Thus, the impairment of mitochondrial respiration at high temperatures may be due to loss of activity of enzymes in ATP-generating pathways.

In addition to interspecific variations, the number of chlorophylls per reaction center can depend on the PPF present during leaf development. Some algae and leaves of land plants developing under low illumination can have over 700 chlorophyll molecules per reaction center, whereas certain leaves developing under full sunlight can have as few as 100, an example of phenotypic plasticity. The ratio is fairly low in bacteria, where there are 40 to 100 bacteriochlorophyll molecules per reaction center.
