Compared to animals, very little is known about the mechanisms of programmed cell death
(PCD) in plants. This in large part is because until recently this area of cell biology was far …

The regeneration of the mother plant through germinative process is the main reason that
evolutionarily justifies the existence of a viable seed. Current knowledge indicates that the …

Plants are remarkable organisms in that they constantly adjust their growth and
developmental patterns in response to changes in their environment. Part of this repertoire …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a collective term for diverse processes causing an actively
induced, tightly controlled cellular suicide. PCD has a multitude of functions in the …

Corpse morphology, nuclear DNA fragmentation, expression of senescence-associated
genes (SAG) and cysteine protease profiles were investigated to understand cell death …

The recognition of cell death as an active process has changed the way in which biologists
view living things. Geneticists are now re-evaluating long-known mutants, redesigning …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a physiological cell death process involved in the selective
elimination of unwanted cells (Ellis et al., 1991). In animals, these unwanted cells include …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an essential part of the ontogeny of roots and their
tolerance/resistance mechanisms, allowing adaptation and growth under adverse …

This study examined the effect of the calcium channel blocker ruthenium red (RR) on
developmental programmed cell death (PCD) and perforation formation in leaves of the …

Cell death can be driven by a genetically programmed signalling pathway known as
programmed cell death (PCD). In plants, PCD occurs during development as well as in …
