Ferroptosis: Yet Another Way to Die

Kemal Kazan et al. Trends Plant Sci. 2019 Jun.

Abstract

Cell death is one of the most fundamental biological processes operating in multicellular organisms. Recent research highlighted here [Distéfano et al. (J. Cell Biol. 2017:216;463-476) and Dangol et al. (Plant Cell 2019:31;189-209)] revealed an iron- and ROS-dependent cell death phenomenon called ferroptosis in plants. Features distinguishing ferroptosis from other cell death events and how ferroptosis can be exploited to improve plant performance are discussed.

Keywords: apoptosis; autophagy; cell death; hypersensitive response; iron; reactive oxygen species.
