Homologs of Genes Associated with Programmed Cell Death in Animal Cells are Differentially Expressed During Senescence of Ipomoea nil Petals

Abstract excerpt

In senescent petals of Ipomoea nil, we investigated the expression of genes showing homology to genes involved in animal programmed cell death (PCD). Three encoded proteins were homologous to apoptotic proteins in animals: Bax inhibitor-1 (BI-1), a vacuolar processing enzyme (VPE; homologous to caspases) and a monodehydroascorbate reductase [MDAR; homologous to apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF)]. AIFs harbor an...
