Research on programmed cell death in plants is providing insight into the primordial
mechanism of programmed cell death in all eukaryotes. Much of the attention in studies on …

The mitochondria pathway is regarded as a central component of some types of
programmed cell death (PCD) in animal cells where specific signals cause the release of …

Recent studies have expanded our view of the interactions between small molecule signals
that regulate the hypersensitive response and other forms of cell suicide in plants. The …

Higher plant mitochondria are dynamic, pleomorphic organelles. The higher plant
chondriome (all mitochondria in a cell collectively) is typically composed of numerous …

In the last few years programmed cell death in plants inspired many studies in development
and environmental stresses. Some of these studies showed that hallmarks of animal …

The plant response to attempted infection by microbial pathogens is often accompanied by
rapid cell death in and around the initial infection site, a reaction known as the …

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 …

In mammals mitochondria play a critical role in the activation of programmed cell death
(PCD). One mechanism by which mitochondria can commit a cell to death is by translocating …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an important feature of plant development; however, the
mechanisms responsible for its regulation in plants are far less well understood than those …

Cysteine and serine proteases are prominent players in the control of developmental and
pathogen-activated cell deaths in plants. Ethylene, salicylic acid, the small G-protein Rac …
