| Types of cell death observed in animals and plants. PCD in the life cycle of plants. Overview of senescence. Pigment metabolism during senescence. Protein metabolism in senescence. Impact of senescence on photosynthesis. Impact of senescence on oxidative metabolism. Degradation of nucleic acids during senescence. Regulation of metabolic activity in senescing cells. Endogenous plant growth regulators and senescence. Environmental influences on senescence. Examples of developmental PCD in plants. Examples of PCD as a plant response to stress.
