| ARTICLES RELATED TO slime mould | | | |  slime mould: Encyclopedia II - Programmed cell death - Types of programmed cell deathProgrammed cell death has been classified into two main types:
Apoptosis (or Type I cell death), is a particular form of programmed cell death and is described in that article.
Autophagic (a.k.a. cytoplasmic, or Type II) cell death, characterized by the formation of large vacuoles that eat away organelles in a specific sequence before the nucleus is destroyed. (See Lawrence M. Schwartz et al.: "Do All Programmed Cell Deaths Occur Via Apoptosis?", PNAS 90(3) p. 980, 1 February. 1993[1]; and, for a mo ...

| | | | slime mould: Encyclopedia II - Programmed cell death - Evolutionary origin of PCD Biologists had long suspected that mitochondria originated from bacteria that had been incorporated as endosymbionts (that is, a living body "living together inside") of larger, eukaryotic cells. It was Lynn Margulis who, since 1967, began championing this theory, that has since been widely accepted (see "The Birth of Complex Cells", by Christian de Duve, Scientific American Vol. 274, 4, April, 1996). The most convincing evidence for this theory is the fact that mitochondria have their own D ...

| | | | slime mould: Encyclopedia II - Programmed cell death - Programmed cell death in plant tissue Basic morphological and biochemical features of PCD have been conserved in both plant and animal kingdoms (see Mazal Solomon, et al.: "The Involvement of Cysteine Proteases and Protease Inhibitor Genes in the Regulation of Programmed Cell Death in Plants", The Plant Cell, Vol. 11, 431-444, March 1999. See also related articles in The Plant Cell Online, [5]). It should be noted, however, that specific types of plant cells carry out unique cell death programs. These have common features with animal apoptosis --for instance ...

| | | | slime mould: Encyclopedia II - Programmed cell death - Programmed cell death in slime moulds The social slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum has the peculiarity of adopting either a predatory amoeba-like behavior in its unicellular form, or coalescing into a mobile slug-like form when subjected to food deprivation. The slug proceeds to grow a stalk, and, on top of it, a fruiting body that can disperse spores that will give birth to the next generation of ground-living, amoebae-like D. discoideum individuals[6].
The stalk is composed of dead cells that have undergone a type of PCD that shares many features of aut ...
