Phospholipid signalling and lipid-derived second messengers in plants

Plant Growth Regulation Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Phospholipid signalling is mediated by phospholipid breakdown products generated by phospholipases. The enzymes from animals and plants generating known or potential lipid-derived second messengers are compared. Plants possess a phospholipase C and a phospholipase A2 both of which are agonist-activated. These agonists (auxin, elicitors, perhaps others) bind to the external surface of the plasma membrane. The target enzyme for potential plant lipid-derived second messengers is lipid-activated protein kinase but the possibility that other enzymes may be also lipid-modulated should not be precluded.
