Systemic Spread

Sacrificing an infected cell or cells in order to prevent systemic spread of a pathogen appears to be a conserved strategy in both plants and animals. We studied some of the morphological and biochemical events that accompany programmed cell death during the hypersensitive response of tobacco plants infected with tobacco mosaic virus. Certain aspects of this cell death process appeared to be similar to those that take place during apoptosis in animal cells. These included condensation and vacuolization of the cytoplasm and cleavage of nuclear DNA to 50 kb fragments. In contrast, internucleosomal fragmentation, condensation of chromatin at the nuclear periphery and apoptotic bodies were not observed in tobacco plants during tobacco mosaic virus-induced hypersensitive response. A unique aspect of programmed cell death during the hypersensitive response of tobacco to tobacco mosaic virus involved an increase in the amount of monomeric chloroplast DNA. Morphological changes to the chloroplast and cytosol of tobacco cells and increase in monomeric chloroplast DNA occurred prior to gross changes in nuclear morphology and significant chromatin cleavage. Our findings suggest that certain aspects of programmed cell death may have been conserved during the evolution of plants and animals.

The Relationship

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays crucial roles in plant development and defence response. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during normal plant growth, and high ROS concentrations can change the antioxidant status of cells, leading to spontaneous cell death. In addition, ROS function as signalling molecules to improve plant stress tolerance, and they induce PCD under different conditions. This review describes the mechanisms underlying plant PCD, the key functions of mitochondria and chloroplasts in PCD, and the relationship between mitochondria and chloroplasts during PCD. Additionally, the review discusses the factors that regulate PCD. Most importantly, in this review, we summarise the sites of production of ROS and discuss the roles of ROS that not only trigger multiple signalling pathways leading to PCD but also participate in the execution of PCD, highlighting the importance of ROS in PCD.

Dying Cells

In this work we have attempted to characterize the programmed cell death process in the chick embryonic interdigital tissue. Interdigital cell death is a prominent phenomenon during limb development and has the role of sculpturing the digits. Morphological changes in the regressing interdigital tissue studied by light, transmission and scanning electron microscopy were correlated with the occurrence of internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, evaluated using agarose gels. Programming of the cell death process was also analyzed by testing the chondrogenic potential of the interdigital mesenchyme, in high density cultures. Our results reveal a progressive loss of the chondrogenic potential of the interdigital mesenchyme, detectable 36 hours before the onset of the degenerative process. Internucleosomal DNA fragmentation was only detected concomitant with the appearance of cells dying with the morphology of apoptosis, but unspecific DNA fragmentation was also present at the same time. This unspecific DNA fragmentation was explained by a precocious activation of the phagocytic removal of the dying cells, confirmed in the tissue sections. From our observations it is suggested that programming of cell death involves changes before endonuclease activation. Further, cell surface changes involved in the phagocytic uptake of the dying cells appear to be as precocious as endonuclease activation.
