Title
Regulation of programmed cell death in plant embryogenesis
Peter Bozhkov BMC Plant Biology 2005. doi:10.1186/1471-2229-5-s1-s6
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Mechanism In plant embryogenesis programmed cell death governs the elimination of the transient embryonic suspensor.
- Mechanism Embryonic programmed cell death also underlies embryo abortion.
- Mechanism In polyembryonic seeds, competition among multiple embryos often induces programmed cell death, eliminating all but one embryo.
- Observation The microtubule network is disrupted early in the programmed cell death pathway.
- Observation F-actin is gradually reorganised into thick longitudinal cables during the cell death pathway.
- Mechanism Type II metacaspase is critically involved in regulating the cell death pathway essential for normal embryo development.
- Intervention effect Metacaspase gene silencing suppressed cell death and caused failure of embryonic pattern formation.
