Abstract

Programmed cell death (PCD) involves hydrolysis of genomic DNA, which must be catalyzed by endonuclease(s) capable of digesting dsDNA. Plants have two major classes of endonucleases active towards dsDNA, Zn2+-dependent endonuclease and Ca2+-dependent endonuclease. Both classes are found among endonucleases nominated for machineries of PCD in plants. Survey of plant endonucleases in relation to PCD leads to a possibility that a different class of endonuclease reflects a different phase of PCD-associated DNA hydrolysis.
