In plants, programmed cell death (PCD) is an important mechanism that controls normal growth and development as well as many defence responses. At present, research on PCD in different plant species is actively carried out due to the possibilities offered by modern methods in molecular biology and the increasing amount of genome data. The pine seed provides a favourable model for PCD because it represents an interesting inheritance of seed tissues as well as an anatomically well-described embryogenesis during which several tissues die via morphologically different PCD processes.
在植物中,程序性细胞死亡(PCD)是一种重要的机制,它控制着正常的生长和发育以及许多防御反应。目前,由于分子生物学现代方法的提供的可能性和基因组数据的不断增加,对不同植物物种的 PCD 研究正在积极进行。松种子为 PCD 提供了一个有利的模型,因为它代表了种子组织有趣的遗传,以及解剖学上描述良好的胚胎发生,在此期间,几种组织通过形态上不同的 PCD 过程死亡。
