[Genetically programmed cell death: the basis of homeostasis and form of phytoimmunity response]
Abstract:
This paper gives a brief overview of the recent ideas about programmed cell death including apoptosis in animals and plants. Comparison of these processes in animal and plant cells in terms of physiological features has been presented. Necrosis as a form of pathological, not genetically programmed cell death has been characterized. Reflections about the meaning (the need) of apoptosis in the formation of hypersensitive response in plants and the role of programmed cell death in joint relations between pathogens and plants have been considered.

Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the 20th century...

Phagocytes police the peripheral tissues by removing cellular debris and responding to the invasion of foreign substances or pathogens. Many phagocytes attack and remove microorganisms even before lymphocytes detect them. The human body has two general...
