Abstract excerpt
Programmed cell death (PCD) induced by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is implicated in various plant physiological processes, yet its mechanism is still elusive. An activation of caspase-3-like enzymatic activity was clearly demonstrated but the role of the two known plant proteases with caspase-3-like activity, cathepsin B and proteasome subunit PBA1, remains to be established. Both genetic downregulation and...
