symbiont-induced defense-related programmed cell death

Term ID

GO:0034050

Synonyms

• host programmed cell death induced by symbiont
• programmed cell death induced by symbiont

Definition

Cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes after interaction with a symbiont (defined as the smaller of two, or more, organisms engaged in symbiosis, a close interaction encompassing mutualism through parasitism). This can be triggered by direct interaction with the organism, for example, contact with penetrating hyphae of a fungus; or an indirect interaction such as symbiont-secreted molecules.
