Background Programmed cell death (PCD) is an important process for the development and
maintenance of multicellular eukaryotes. In animals, there are three morphologically distinct …

Background Developmentally regulated programmed cell death (PCD) is the controlled
death of cells that occurs throughout the life cycle of both plants and animals. The lace plant …

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a major role in plant development and defense
throughout the plant kingdom. Within animal systems, it is well accepted that caspases play …

Main conclusion Antioxidants and reactive oxygen species are integral for programmed cell
death signaling during perforation formation in the lace plant (Aponogeton …

Background Programmed cell death (PCD) is the regulated death of cells within an
organism. The lace plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis) produces perforations in its …

Within plant systems, two main forms of programmed cell death (PCD) exist:
developmentally regulated and environmentally induced. The lace plant (Aponogeton …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is required for many morphological changes, but in plants it
has been studied in much less detail than in animals. The unique structure and physiology …

Abstract Background The lace plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis) is an aquatic monocot
that develops leaves with uniquely formed perforations through the use of a developmentally …

Aponogeton madagascariensis produces perforations over its leaf surface via programmed
cell death (PCD). PCD begins between longitudinal and transverse veins at the center of …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is the destruction of unwanted cells through an intracellularly
mediated process. Perforation formation in the lace plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis) …
