Programmed cell death is a cellular process that is an essential component of a plants
normal growth and development, its defence mechanism to counter pathogen attack and its …

The mitochondrion has a central role during programmed cell death (PCD) in animals,
acting as both a sensor of death signals, and as an initiator of the biochemical processes …

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 …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a fundamental process that occurs in plants during
development, the hypersensitive response and situations involving abiotic or biotic stress …

As explained in any standard undergraduate biology textbook, mitochondria are the
powerhouse of the cell whose principal function is energy generation. Recently however, a …

Background We present evidence that in plant cells DNA damage induced by the
topoisomerase trapping drug camptothecin induces oxidative stress via the mitochondrial …

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

Cell death is a vital process in multi‐cellular eukaryotes. Rather than being a contradiction in
terms, this statement highlights the importance of limited and localized cell killing to the …

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 …

Mitochondria play a crucial role in programmed cell death (PCD) in plants. In most cases of
mitochondria-dependent PCD, cytochrome c (Cyt c) released from mitochondria due to the …
