细胞程序性死亡在植物适应逆境中的意义

Role of programmed cell death in adaptation of plant to environmental stress

细胞程序性死亡是近年来生命科学的研究热点之一,它不仅在植物生长发育中起重要作用,而且与植物适应逆境也密切相关。本文就细胞程序性死亡在植物适应逆境中的重要作用进行了综述,以期对细胞程序性死亡的研究进一步深入和对植物适应逆境的潜力有新的认识。

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a hot research topic recently, since it has significance in plant development and it correlates with adaptation of plant to environment stress as well. Research progress for the process of PCD was summarized and role of PCD in plant adaptation to environmental stress was discussed. Research prospective was also put forward in this paper.
