Abstract
It was shown that tobacco leaf treatment with 100 mM H2O2 increased their content of endogenous H2O2 and activities of catalase and hydrolases (acid phosphatase, proteases, and RNase) and also caused various changes in the cell structure. In this case, programmed cell death (PCD) occurred in some cells, which was observed as chromatin condensation, cytoplasm collapse, etc. In the meantime, many cells displayed organelle activation rather than PCD. It is suggested that cells that undergo H2O2-dependent PCD release signaling molecules inducing protective mechanisms against oxidative stress in neighboring cells not exhibiting PCD.
