I do not think so as mitochondria are ancestral to all eukaryotes and produce about 36 ATP per glucose molecule on average. I can not think that the higher yield plant would have more efficient mitochondria as plant yield is tied in with plant reproduction and more resources are given over to this process, not more energy.

I could be wrong about this though and if I find anything I will post an amended answer.
