The point of no return during programmed cell death (PCD) is defined as the step beyond
which the cell is irreversibly committed to die. Some plant cells can be saved before this …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an important feature of plant development; however, the
mechanisms responsible for its regulation in plants are far less well understood than those …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is the regulated removal of cells within an organism and
plays a fundamental role in growth and development in nearly all eukaryotes. In animals, the …

Under stress conditions, mitochondria sense metabolic changes, eg in pH, cytoplasmic
Ca2+, energy status, and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and respond by induction of the …

Programmed cell death (PCD) describes a small number of processes that result in a highly
controlled, and organised, form of cellular destruction, activated in every part of the plant …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a physiological process occurring during development and
in pathological conditions of animals and plants. The cell death program can be subdivided …

Mitochondria are fundamental for eukaryotic cells as they participate in critical catabolic and
anabolic pathways. Moreover, mitochondria play a key role in the signal transduction …

Mitochondria are not only important for the energetic status of the cell, but are also the fatal
organelles deciding about cellular life and death. Complex mitochondrial features decisive …

It has now become recognized that one of the key events in the induction of apoptosis, or
programmed cell death, in both plants and animals is the release of cytochrome c from …
