Structural Evidence of Programmed Cell Death Induction by Tungsten in Root Tip Cells of Pisum sativum

Structural Evidence of Programmed Cell Death Induction by Tungsten in Root Tip Cells of Pisum sativum

Previous studies have shown that excess tungsten (W), a rare heavy metal, is toxic to plant cells and may induce a kind of programmed cell death (PCD). In the present study we used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to investigate the subcellular mal...
