Emerging data also suggest that non-apoptotic cell death pathways might have evolved to play important physiological parts in cellular responses to stress, genotoxic damage and pathogenic infection.

In particular, these plant products were high in derivates of a compound called quercetin, which was associated with an ability to prevent oxidative stress-induced cell death and chelate copper ions.

This approach allowed them to map individual plant cells and see where key elements ... performance and ultimately leading to its death if the salt stress persists," explains Ramakrishna.
