A Bipartite Molecular Module Controls Cell Death Activation in the Basal Cell Lineage of Plant Embryos

During plant embryogenesis, once the suspensor organ of the plant embryo has fulfilled its role, it is removed by programmed cell death (PCD). The pro-death cathepsin protease NtCP14 initiates this PCD, but is inhibited by the cystatin NtCYS until the suspensor function is fulfilled.
