The process whereby the antipodal cells undergo programmed cell death. A biological process that results in permanent cessation of all vital functions of a cell. Synergid cells undergo degeneration and death in response to penetration by the pollen tube. It is an active process that involves a dramatic decrease in cell volume, collapse of the vacuoles, and complete disintegration of the plasma membrane and most organelles. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process of apoptosis that contributes to the shaping of an anatomical structure. Cell death resulting from activation of endogenous cellular processes. Programmed cell death of an errant germ line cell that are outside the normal migratory path or ectopic to the gonad. This is an important mechanism of regulating germ cell survival within the embryo. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The stage-specific programmed cell death of cells of the larval midgut, during histolysis of the larval organ. Programmed cell death that occurs in the developing retina. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate. The activation of endogenous cellular processes that result in the death of a cell as part of its development.
