. Programmed cell death (PCD) appears to be a ubiquitous process which allows a multicellular organism to eliminate unwanted or defective cells by the process of cellular disintegration without inducing an inflammatory response. As compare to animal cells molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying PCD (or apoptosis) in plants were not characterised yet, although there are many data describing PCD during plant development or resulting form an interactions with environment (hypoxia, plant pathogen) (1). Here we collected the evidence that programmed cell death is induced with cdk inhibitors treatment also in plant cells.
