Programmed Cell Death and Drought Stress Signaling

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Salt and Drought Stress Tolerance in Plants

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM))

Abstract

Programmed cell death (PCD) refers to the death of a cell that is genetically programmed. Alongside cell division and cell migration, PCD enables the organism to strictly control cell numbers and tissue size as well as to protect itself from unwanted cells that threaten homeostasis. To counteract the oxidative damage, plants have evolved efficient antioxidant defense mechanisms containing enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers. The function of ROS also as the messenger molecules interact with several other signaling pathways including nitric oxide (NO), salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), and ethylene (ET). These interactions and ROS/hormonal balance determine whether the cell stays alive or enter the PCD pathway. Reactive oxygen species are also responsible for the transduction of stress signals and systemic acclimation to unfavorable environmental conditions. Although PCD causes crop yield losses, such selective death of cells under abiotic stress eventually provides survival benefits. Elucidation of the specific enzymes involved in PCD pathways is of a great interest from the context of applied agriculture and environmental protection, since it would enable the creation of plants that are more tolerant to stress. This chapter will provide an overview of PCD and its roles during development and in response to drought stress and physiological and molecular basis of manipulation of PCD pathways enhancing tolerance to drought stress in plant.
