Around the time of this journal's first volume, the concept of PCD, ie the cell's active
participation in its own demise, was introduced using the example of a plant cell infected by …

Plant development and defence are intimately connected to programmed cell death (PCD).
PCD can occur after environmental cues such as pathogen infection, mechanical damage or …

Programmed cell death (PCD) or apoptosis is a genetically programmed cellular process.
Though in the plant, a true caspase system is lacking, still PCD can occur throughout the life …

Throughout the life cycle of plants, programmed cell death (PCD) is involved in a wide range
