Abstract excerpt
Programmed cell death (PCD) plays an important role in plant growth and development as well as in stress responses. During male gametophyte development, it has been proposed that PCD may act as a cellular surveillance mechanism to ensure successful progression of male gametogenesis, and this suicide protective machinery is repressed under favorable growth conditions. However, the regulatory mechanism of male...
