Physiological mechanisms of cell death are used by multicellular organisms for
development and morphogenesis, to control cell number, and as a defensive strategy to …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a suicide mechanism adopted by multicellular organisms
that is essential for development and resistance to different forms of stress. In plants, PCD is …

Apoptosis is a feature of animal cells that explains some aspects of programmed cell death
in plants. Differences between plant and animal cell development require that concepts be …

Plant development involves the elimination of cell organelles, protoplasts, tissues and
organs. Programmed cell death is a process aimed at the removal of redundant, misplaced …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is emerging as a fundamental concept in modern biology. It
plays a vital role in almost all known organisms from unicellular bacteria to complex …

In plants, apoptotic-like programmed cell death (PCD) can be distinguished from other forms
of plant cell death by protoplast condensation that results in a morphologically distinct cell …

For plants to develop properly and survive, programmed cell death is an important response
strategy to various internal and external cues. Morphologically, a key difference between …

Cell death in higher plants has been widely observed in predictable patterns throughout
development and in response to pathogenic infection. Genetic, biochemical, and …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an integral part of both animal and plant development. In
animals, model systems such as Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and …

The life of any multicellular organism is accompanied, every day, by the death of some of its
many cells. Various unfavorable environmental factors and agents may be responsible for …
