Senescence is the final stage of plant development. It is a genetically controlled process
leading to organ or whole plant death. The death process at the cellular level is called …

Metacaspases are cysteine proteases from plants, fungi, and protozoans that have structural
similarity to metazoan caspases. They play a critical role in programmed cell death (PCD) …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an ordered cell suicide that removes unwanted or
damaged cells, playing a role in defense to environmental stresses and pathogen invasion …

Metacaspases are structural homologs of the metazoan caspases that are found in plants,
fungi, and protozoans. They are cysteine proteases that function during programmed cell …

Programmed cell death (PCD) in plant cells is often accompanied by biochemical and
morphological hallmarks similar to those of animal apoptosis. However, orthologs of animal …

In both plants and animals, programmed cell death (PCD) is an indispensable process that
removes redundant cells. In seedless grapes (Vitis vinifera), abnormal PCD in ovule cells …

Metacaspase (MC), which is discovered gene family with distant caspase homologs in
plants, fungi, and protozoa, may be involved in programmed cell death (PCD) processes …

Metacaspases are distant relatives of animal caspases found in plants, protozoa and fungi.
Some recent studies have demonstrated that metacaspases are involved in regulating the …

The hypersensitive reaction is an important process in plant disease resistance. Similar to
apoptosis in animals, it is programmed cell death (PCD) process in plants. Caspases …

Metacaspase (MC), a family of caspase-like proteins, plays vital roles in regulating
programmed cell death (PCD) during development and in response to stresses in plants. In …
