This project investigates the role of metacaspases in controlling programmed cell death in plants, particularly during pathogen attacks. By studying Arabidopsis and melon, the research aims to enhance understanding of cell death mechanisms to improve crop resilience against diseases.
Cell death has a central role in innate immune responses in both animals and plants.
The hypersensitive response (HR) is a plant-specific form of programmed cell death (PCD) occurring at the site of attempted pathogen invasion. A tight regulation of HR is essential in order to avoid unnecessary tissue damage beyond the infection site.
However, the signaling pathways leading to HR still remain ill-defined.
We have shown that Arabidopsis metacaspases antagonistically control pathogen-triggered HR.…
