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 …

Controlling male fertility is an important goal for plant reproduction and selective breeding.
Hybrid vigour results in superior growth rates and increased yields of hybrids compared with …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a fundamental process of life. During the evolution of
multicellular organisms, the actively controlled demise of cells has been recruited to fulfil a …

Relatively little is known about programmed cell death (PCD) in plants. It is nonetheless
suggested here that tonoplast rupture and the subsequent rapid destruction of the cytoplasm …

Tapetal programmed cell death (PCD) is a prerequisite for pollen grain development in
angiosperms, and cysteine proteases are the most ubiquitous hydrolases involved in plant …

Jasmonates are important phytohormones regulating reproductive development. We used
two recessive rice Tos17 alleles of OsJAR1, osjar1-2 and osjar1-3, to study the biological …

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 …

Autophagy is a major degradation and recycling pathway in plants. It functions to maintain
cellular homeostasis and is induced by environmental cues and developmental stimuli. Over …

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved degradation pathway of lysosomes (in mammals)
and vacuoles (in yeasts and plants) from lower yeasts to higher mammals. It wraps …

INDUCER OF CBF EXPRESSION 1 (ICE1) encodes a MYC-like basic helix-loop-helix
(bHLH) transcription factor playing a critical role in plant responses to chilling and freezing …
