The death of plant cells: Control mechanisms and field applications
Meeting - Barcelona, Spain
Programmed cell death is essential for multicellular life, with a central role in development and disease. In plants, programmed cell death is a major player in plant development and in crop resistance to pathogens. With a pressing need to combat disease in the field, which results in tremendous losses, and to increase yield through a better understanding of plant development, it is now essential to join efforts in order to move forward the frontiers of science in this area.
Plant research at the molecular level is coming of age at a time of heightened need for novel second-generation crops that not only grow better in healthy conditions, but are also able to fight recalcitrant diseases, such as pathogenic bacteria and molds.
