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 …

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 …

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 …

In mammals mitochondria play a critical role in the activation of programmed cell death
(PCD). One mechanism by which mitochondria can commit a cell to death is by translocating …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a finely tuned process of multicellular organisms. In higher
plants, PCD regulates many developmental processes and the response of host plants to …

Plant cells undergoing programmed cell death (PCD) at late stages typically show chromatin
condensation and endonucleolytic cleavage prior to obvious membrane or organelle …

The key role for mitochondria in mammalian apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death
(PCD), is well established, but a similar role for plant mitochondria is just emerging. In order …

Mitochondria are known to participate in the initiation of programmed cell death (PCD) in
animals and in plants. The role of chloroplasts in PCD is still unknown. We describe a new …

In plants, apoptotic-like programmed cell death (PCD) can be distinguished from other forms
of plant cell death by protoplast condensation that results in a morphologically distinct cell …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is crucial in plant organogenesis and survival. In this review
the involvement of mitochondria and chloroplasts in PCD execution is critically assessed …
