Apoptosis-a functional paradigm for programmed plant cell death induced by a host-selective phytotoxin and invoked during development.

The detection of stereotypic hallmarks of apoptosis during cell death induced by AAL toxins in tomato is reported.  DNA ladders were observed during cell death in toxin treated tomato protoplasts and leaflets.  The progressive delineation of fragmented DNA into distinct bodies, coincident with the appearance of DNA ladders, was also observed.  The apoptotic process is the functional process by which symtomatic lesions are formed in the Alternaria stem canker disease of tomato.
