Programmed cell death (PCD) is now accepted as a fundamental cellular process in plants.
It is involved in defence, development and response to stress, and our understanding of …

Plants have evolved distinct pathways and strategies from those of animals to cope with
environmental stresses as well as microbial invaders. This is in part due to the sessile nature …

In spite of the wide-spread occurrence of cell death in plants, the phenomenon is a topic
rarely discussed in textbooks of plant anatomy or physiology. It is implicated extensively in …

The International FEBS-IUBMB Workshop:'Mitochondrial Dynamics in Cell Life and Death',
27–30 August 2005, was dedicated to the memory of Stanley J Korsmeyer (1950–2005). It …

Cell death occurs in plants as a part of normal development and as a response to toxins,
pathogens and other environmental stimuli or insults. When cell death occurs as an orderly …

Mitochondria carry out a variety of important processes in plants. Their major role is the
synthesis of ATP through the coupling of a membrane potential to the transfer of electrons …

Plant cells exhibit a high rate of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) recombination. This implies that
before cytokinesis, the different mitochondrial compartments must fuse to allow for mtDNA …

▪ Abstract The interaction of pathogens with plants leads to a disruption in cellular
homeostasis, often leading to cell death, in both compatible and incompatible relationships …

Mitochondria cannot be created de novo, meaning that any new mitochondrion must be
formed from the division of an existing organelle. In addition to division, mitochondria also …

Mitochondria are the product of a long evolutionary history. It is now a well established fact
that mitochondria did evolve from free living bacteria being the common ancestor of both …
