摘要
Cysteine and serine proteases are prominent players in the control of developmental and pathogen-activated cell deaths in plants. Ethylene, salicylic acid, the small G-protein Rac, calcium and reactive oxygen species are recurring mediators of death signaling. Lastly, the mitochondrion has emerged in both plant and animal systems as a 'central depot' that interprets multiple signals and in some instances determines the fate of the cell.
