The majority of these are restricted to plants, with only a few genes having close homologues in animals. The notion that the plant cell death network is genetically different from the animal cell death …

Feb 5, 2008 · Abstract 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 …

Jun 1, 2020 · PCD also needed as one of the survival mechanisms in plant in certain occurrences of biotic and abiotic stresses like disease, water stress, salt and heat stress.

Although certain elements of apoptosis are detectable during some plant programmed cell death processes, the participation of autolytic and perhaps autophagic mechanisms of cell killing during ...

As pathogens evolve new mechanisms to overcome plant defenses, plants concurrently evolve new defense strategies. This continuous co-evolutionary battle is often described using the "zigzag" …

Oct 10, 1996 · Thus, in plants, PCD resembles either a common form of PCD seen in animals called apoptosis or it resembles a morphologically distinct form of cell death. The ubiquitous occurrence …
