Abstract excerpt
In plants, events similar to programmed cell death have been reported [1] [2], although little is known of their mechanisms at the molecular level. To investigate the mechanism(s) involved, we overexpressed bcl-x(L), which encodes a mammalian suppressor of programmed cell death, in tobacco plants, under the control of a strong promoter [3]. In plants expressing Bcl-x(L), cell death induced by UV-B irradiation,...
