“…HR can be morphologically defined as a type of programmed cell death (PCD) that shares features with different forms of cell death studied in animals (e.g., apoptosis, necroptosis and pyroptosis), such as cytoplasmic shrinkage, chromatin condensation and mitochondrial swelling, but also presents unique characteristics of plants, such as vacuolization and chloroplast disruption in the final stages of the process (Salguero‐Linares & Coll, 2019). HR has already been verified in different plant species and in response to infections caused by a diverse range of aggressors, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, oomycetes, nematodes, insects and even in response to parasitic plants (Balint‐Kurti, 2019; Camagna & Takemoto, 2018; Govrin & Levine, 2000; Höglund, Larsson, & Wingsle, 2005; Huang et al, 2004; Hussain, Mansoor, Iram, Zafar, & Briddon, 2007; Runyon, Mescher, & De Moraes, 2010; Vleeshouwers, Van Dooijeweert, Govers, Kamoun, & Colon, 2000).…”
