Abstract excerpt
Drought induces root death in plants; however, the nature and characteristics of root cell death and its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we provide a systematic analysis of cell death in the primary root tips in Arabidopsis during water stress. Root tip cell death occurs when high water deficit is reached. The dying cells were first detected in the apical meristem of the primary roots and...
