The submerged aquatic plant, lace plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis,
Aponogetonaceae) has a highly unusual leaf form, in which holes perforate the leaf blade in …

PCD is the process by which the execution of a genetically encoded, actively controlled
sequence of steps leads to the suicide of a cell. PCD differs from necrosis, which is generally …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an integral part of plant development and of responses to
abiotic stress or pathogens. Although the morphology of plant PCD is, in some cases, well …

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

Background Animals and plants diverged over one billion years ago and evolved unique
mechanisms for many cellular processes, including cell death. One of the most well-studied …

Programmed cell death (PCD) in plants is a crucial component of development and defence
mechanisms. In animals, different types of cell death (apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis) …

Programmed cell death (PCD) describes a small number of processes that result in a highly
controlled, and organised, form of cellular destruction, activated in every part of the plant …

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 …

Developmentally programmed cell death (dPCD) is a tightly controlled biological process. In
recent years, vital roles of dPCD on regulating floral organ growth and development have …

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 …
