Abstract
Organizing the activation of cell division and cell death in animals and plants may lead a variety of developmental processes for instance determining of cells, tissues and organs. But, cell death also is used in a number of other processes such as control of cell populations and defense against invading microbes. Beyond the similarities between plant and animal programmed cell death (PCD), the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular changes in plant remain unclear. In particular there is no indication in plant genomes for genes orthologous to caspases. Proteases not connected to caspases are thought to be related in PCD in plant cells in recent years there are numerous studies showing that caspase inhibitors can suppress cell death in plants. The aim of this review is to focus on recent advances in PCD molecular mechanisms in plants.
