Programmed cell death in plants: distinguishing between different modes.
Programmed cell death (PCD) in plants is a crucial component of development and defence mechanisms. In animals, different types of cell death (apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis) have been distinguished morphologically and discussed in these morphological terms. PCD is largely used to describe the processes of apoptosis and autophagy (although some use PCD and apoptosis interchangeably) while n...
متن کاملProgrammed Cell Death in Plants.
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a physiological cell death process involved in the selective elimination of unwanted cells (Ellis et al., 1991). In animals, these unwanted cells include those that have served temporary functions, such as tadpole tail cells at metamorphosis; cells that are overproduced, such as vertebrate neurons; cells that are unwanted or present in inappropriate positions, suc...
متن کاملDevelopmental programmed cell death in plants.
Mechanisms of plant developmental programmed cell death (PCD) have been intensively studied in recent years. Most plant developmental PCD is triggered by plant hormones, and the 'death signal' may be transduced by hormonal signaling pathways. Although there are some fundamental differences in the regulation of developmental PCD in various eukaryotes of different kingdoms, hormonal control and d...
متن کاملROS-mediated abiotic stress-induced programmed cell death in plants
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 unless properly countered. While animals can simply escape and thus evade stressors, plants as sessile organisms have developed complex strategies to withstand them. When the intensity of a detrimental factor is ...
متن کاملProgrammed cell death in plants resembles apoptosis of animals
The selective and regulated elimination of certain cells is an effective mechanism to ensure the maintenance of homeostasis in both plants and animals. This is possible through a genetically regulated process called programmed cell death (PCD). Morphological and biochemical hallmarks of PCD or apoptosis in animals can also be observed in PCD of plants. Furthermore, genetic similarities between ...
