Like all eukaryotic organisms, plants possess an innate program for controlled cellular demise termed programmed cell death (PCD). Despite the functional conservation of PCD across broad evolutionary distances, an understanding of the molecular machinery underpinning this fundamental program in plants remains largely elusive. As in mammalian PCD, the regulation of plant PCD is critical to development, homeostasis, and proper responses to stress. Evidence is emerging that autophagy is key to the…

Reassessing apoptosis in plants
TLDR
The features of plant apoptotic-like cell death are reassessed to highlight the similarities between animal and plant programmed cell death.
Centrality of BAGs in Plant PCD, Stress Responses, and Host Defense.
Programmed cell death (PCD) control in plants: New insights from the Arabidopsis thaliana deathosome.
Apoptosis is not conserved in plants as revealed by critical examination of a model for plant apoptosis-like cell death
TLDR
It is concluded that heat shock-induced cell death is an energy-independent process best matching definition of necrosis, supporting the viewpoint that apoptosis is not conserved across animal and plant kingdoms and demonstrates the importance of focusing on plant-specific aspects of cell death pathways.

Routes to cell death in animal and plant kingdoms: from classic apoptosis to alternative ways to die—a review
TLDR
Non-apoptotic forms of cell death are best characterized in animals, whereas, in plants, the literature is less extensive, but the molecular executioners of plant cellDeath are becoming clearer.
Initiation and Execution of Programmed Cell Death and Regulation of Reactive Oxygen Species in Plants
TLDR
The sites of production of ROS are summarized and the roles of ROS that not only trigger multiple signalling pathways leading to PCD but also participate in the execution of PCD are discussed, highlighting the importance of ROS in PCD.
Manipulating Programmed Cell Death Pathways for Enhancing Salinity Tolerance in Crops
TLDR
The development of transformed plants for resistance to apoptosis could be an effective approach to improving salinity tolerance, while the use of complementary techniques like RNA-interfering (RNAi)-mediated gene knockdowns has been shown to be an interesting and appealing alternative.
A Glimpse of Programmed Cell Death Among Bacteria, Animals, and Plants
TLDR
The biochemical and structural studies that have clarified the anti-apoptotic and pro-APoptotic functions of Bcl-2 family proteins during intrinsic apoptosis and how caspase-8 among apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis sets the switchable threshold and integrates innate immune signaling are discussed.
An inhibitor of apoptosis (SfIAP) interacts with SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein (SBP) transcription factors that exhibit pro-cell death characteristics
TLDR
Results support a pro-death role for Sly SBP8b and SlySBP12a and provide potential targets that can be utilized to improve stress tolerance in crop plants.

Centrality of host cell death in plant-microbe interactions.
TLDR
It is suggested that it is not cell death as such but rather the processes leading to cell death that contribute to the outcome of a given plant-pathogen interaction.
The Botanical Dance of Death: Programmed Cell Death in Plants
Only in dying, life: programmed cell death during plant development.
Apoptotic-like programmed cell death in plants.
TLDR
This review describes one of these plant cell death processes, namely the apoptotic-like PCD (AL-PCD), and explores the possible cellular 'executioners' that are responsible for the hallmark features of the cellular destruction.
Morphological classification of plant cell deaths
TLDR
A classification based on morphological criteria is suggested of PCD associated with the hypersensitive response to biotrophic pathogens, which can express features of both necrosis and vacuolar cell death, PCD in starchy cereal endosperm and during self-incompatibility.
Autophagy: pathways for self-eating in plant cells.
TLDR
Recent advances in the understanding of autophagy in plants are described, areas of controversy are discussed, and potential future directions in autophagic research are highlighted.
Classes of programmed cell death in plants, compared to those in animals
  • W. Doorn
  • Biology, Environmental Science
  • 2011
TLDR
It is suggested here that tonoplast rupture and the subsequent rapid destruction of the cytoplasm can distinguish two large PCD classes, and the ‘autolytic’ class of plant PCD, as defined here, can be merged with necrotic PCD in animals.

It is suggested here that tonoplast rupture and the subsequent rapid destruction of the cytoplasm can distinguish two large PCD classes, and the 'autolytic' class of plant PCD can be merged with the autophagic PCD type in animal cells.
A novel membrane fusion-mediated plant immunity against bacterial pathogens.
TLDR
This work found that a defect in proteasome function abolished the membrane fusion associated with both disease resistance and PCD in response to avirulent bacterial strains but not to a virulent strain, and suggested that PBA1 acts as a plant caspase-3-like enzyme.
Cell Death Control: The Interplay of Apoptosis and Autophagy in the Pathogenicity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
TLDR
It is suggested that not all cell deaths are equivalent, and though programmed cell death occurs in both situations, the outcome is predicated on who is in control of the cell death machinery.
