Chickpea is an important leguminous crop that belongs to Fabaceae family, highly valued for its nutritious seeds. Seeds contain reserve food for the developing embryos. Mitochondria are crucial organelle for generation of chemical energy in the form of ATP which is required for achieving metabolically active state; therefore, investigating mitochondrial function and respiration rate is crucial for exploring various metabolic and physio-biochemical changes that occur during seed germination. Here we describe a method for isolation of mitochondria from germinating seeds of two chickpea varieties, i.e., Desi and Kabuli. Structure of Mitotracker-stained isolated mitochondria was observed by confocal microscopy and respiration rate was measured using an oxygen microsensor.
