Abstract: Programmed cell death (PCD) is an active response in cell biology, which widely exists in plant growth and development. It has become a hot research for life science in recent years. In this paper, progress in the detection of PCD by morphology, biochemistry and molecular biology were reviewed. Furthermore, the disadvantages for the existing detection methods of PCD were also discussed in order to lay a sound foundation for better study and use.

Key words: programmed cell death, apoptosis, tection technology
