“…The observed cell death was proposed to be due to highly photodynamic properties considered for both Pheide a and RCC (Mach, Castillo, Hoogstraten, & Greenberg, 2001;Pružinská et al, 2003;Tanaka, Hirashima, Satoh, & Tanaka, 2003). Interestingly, in addition to light-dependent lesion formation, pao/acd1, but not rccr/acd2 mutants also show light-independent cell death, when leaf senescence is induced in constant darkness (Aubry et al, 2018;Hirashima, Tanaka, & Tanaka, 2009). This led to the hypothesis (Kuai et al, 2018),…”
