Abstract
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a fundamental process that occurs in plants during development, the hypersensitive response and situations involving abiotic or biotic stress. One form of PCD is characterised morphologically by the retraction of the protoplast from the cell wall and has been observed in many examples of the aforementioned processes. The mitochondria play a significant role in plant PCD, and research has begun to provide us with answers about the role of the chloroplast in plant PCD. In this chapter we discuss what happens when the mitochondria and chloroplast sense and respond to stress or developmental signals and whether they can play a coordinated role in determining whether a plant cell will live or die.
