During the course of their ontogenesis plants are continuously exposed to a large variety of
abiotic stress factors which can damage tissues and jeopardize the survival of the organism …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a genetically controlled process described both in
eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Even if it is clear that PCD occurs in plants, in …

Paradoxically, death is an integral part of life. Cell death is essential for growth and
development of eukaryotes, by maintaining tissue and organ homeostasis in concert with …

Programmed cell death (PCD), the highly regulated dismantling of cells, is essential for plant
growth and survival. PCD plays key roles in embryo development, formation and maturation …

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays crucial roles in plant development and defence
response. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during normal plant growth, and …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a process aimed at the removal of redundant, misplaced, or
damaged cells and it is essential to the development and maintenance of multicellular …

Abiotic stresses like heavy metals, drought, salt, low temperature, etc. are the major factors
that limit crop productivity and yield. These stresses are associated with production of certain …

Severe environmental stress imposed on plant tissues induces changes in oxygen (O2)
metabolism that cause oxidative stress. Oxidative stress occurs when reactive oxygen …

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) is a genetically controlled pathway that plants can use to
selectively eliminate redundant or damaged cells. In addition to its fundamental role in plant …
