Abstract

Ferroptosis is a cell death pathway that relies on iron- and reactive oxygen species-dependent lethal accumulation of lipid peroxides in the cytosol and/or plasma membrane. Interestingly, Ferroptosis is widely involved in modulating such regulated fatality in the host plant as well as the pathogen albeit with different outcome, dynamics, and interesting metabolic adaptations. Although the basic mechanism of Ferroptosis has been established recently in plants and associated microbes, the conservation, acclimatization, and application of such regulated cell death modality are now beginning to be explored further. Efforts towards this will certainly help better understand the origin, molecular mechanisms, and function of Ferroptosis-associated developmental regulation of biotic interactions in plants.
