Mechanisms of plant developmental programmed cell death (PCD) have been inten- sively studied in recent years. PCD is important for the formation of structure and differentiation of plants. Plants possess a unique process of PCD execution that depends on vacuolar lytic function. Comparisons of the developmental PCD mechanisms of plants and other organisms are providing important insights into the detailed characteristics of developmental PCD in plants.

细胞的程序性死亡(programmedcelldeath,PCD)是生物发育过程中必不可少的部分(Meieretal.,2000;Ameisen,2002)。动物P C D的研究开展较早并取得了重大进展(JacbsonandWeil,1997)。植物细胞PCD的研究起步较晚,但随着对植物PCD研究的逐渐深入,人们认识到PCD不仅是植物正常发育必?
