Abstract

Programmed cell death (PCD) is an active way for plant cells marching to death, which plays an important role in plant development and stress responses. Cytological, biochemical, molecular and physiological methods for measuring plant PCD were reviewed. Application of flow cytometer to plant PCD research was also covered.
