Programmed cell death is a genetically regulated process of cell suicide that is central to the
development, homeostasis and integrity of multicellular organisms. Conversely, the …

Lysigenous aerenchyma contributes to the ability of plants to tolerate low-oxygen soil
environments, by providing an internal aeration system for the transfer of oxygen from the …

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 …

Petal senescence, one type of programmed cell death (PCD) in plants, is a genetically
controlled sequence of events comprising its final developmental stage. We characterized …

The nectrotrophic fungus A lternaria a lternata f. sp. l ycopersici infects tomato plants of the
genotype asc/asc by utilizing a host‐selective toxin, AAL‐toxin, that kills the host cells by …

The effect of mechanical stress (centrifugation) on the induction of nitric oxide (NO) formation
and DNA fragmentation was investigated in leaf cells of Arabidopsis thaliana. Centrifuged …

Background and Aims The floral nectary of Digitalis purpurea is a transitory organ with
stomatal exudation of nectar. In this type of nectary, the nectar is thought to be transported to …

SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were used as an experimental model to study the effects of
50 Hz electromagnetic field, in the range from 50 𝜇T to 1.4 mT. Fourier transform infrared …

The influence of Bcl-2 expression on the suppression of apoptosis during the cultivation of
an NS0 cell line expressing a chimeric antibody was investigated. Following selection of …
