Apoptosis

What is it about?

Living organisms use apoptosis for resistance and progressive mechanisms. A noteworthy commonality has been advocated between the hallmarks of apoptosis in plants and animals, both at cellular and molecular level though very few governing proteins or protein domains have been identified as conserved across all eukaryotic apoptotic forms, biochemical and biotechnological topographies viz., chromatin condensation, nuclear DNA fragmentation and contribution of caspase like proteases in plant apoptosis look like across the board and in conformism with the process in metazoans as well.

Why is it important?

As it is an overview of the existing data concerning with mechanism of apoptosis in plants is at best inclined to support an inherited association with animal apoptosis rather than any common governing approaches.
