Programmed cell death is a common pattern of growth and development in bothanimals and plants. However programmed cell death and related processes arenot as generally recognized as central to plant growth. This is changing fastand is becoming more of a focus of intensive research. This edited work willbring under one cover recent reviews of programmed cell death apoptosis andsenescence.Summaries of the myriad aspects of cell death in plantsDiscussion of thebroadest implications of these disparite resultsA unification of fields wherethere has been no cross talkEnables easy entry into diverse but related linesof research «
