Abiotic Stress-Induced Redox Changes and Programmed Cell Death in Plants—A Path to Survival or Death?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an active process, which occurs during growth, development and in response to various adverse environmental factors. During the course of growth and development, plants are frequently exposed to various stresses such as salinity, temperatures, heavy metals, drought and biotic factors. Plants have also evolved strategies to overcome these adverse conditions. However, when the intensity of these detrimental factors is high, plant cells undergo a process called PCD, as a part of defense mechanism. PCD is a highly regulated process, in which specific targeted cells are damaged to ensure the survival of the organism. Thus, the process facilitates the removal of unwanted and damaged cells, thus maintaining cellular differentiation and tissue homeostasis. PCD also plays an important role in developmental processes, such as differentiation of tracheary elements, formation of glandular trichomes, abscission of floral organs and embryo formation, and hence, it is a vital process for normal growth and development of plants. Stress-induced PCD significantly determines the crop yield and productivity, and hence, it is significant to agriculture. In this chapter, molecular mechanisms involved in PCD related to abiotic stress involving mitochondria and plastid are discussed.
