Abstract
The most recent major advances in the study of programmed cell death (PCD) in plants include the observation that peptide inhibitors of caspases inhib it the hypersensitive response. Nitric oxide has been shown to be required for the induction of disease related PCD. Mutant analysis has led to the cl oning of the first genes involved in PCD related disease resistance, LSD1 a nd MLO.
