Preface Programmed cell death (PCD) is a hot topic in microbiology as well as in animal and plant studies. In fact, the idea that a living cell can decide to kill itself has always been considered intriguing. The study of PCD has changed over time, starting from its identification, then its classification, and finally its manipulation, particularly in research on cancer and more recently in crop productivity and resistance to stress. However, PCD also has a very specific mechanism of action and functional role in plants as it is involved in a number of physiological and pathological processes that are triggered by develop
