Phospholipases in Plant Signaling (Signaling and Communication in Plants Book 20)

"This volume focuses on recent advances in the biochemical and molecular analysis of different families of phospholipases in plants and their roles in signaling plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic and biotic cues The hydrolysis of membrane lipids by phospholipases produces different classes of lipid mediators, including phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol, lysophospholipids, free fatty acids, and oxylipins Phospholipases are grouped into different families and subfamilies according to their site of hydrolysis, substrate usage, and sequence similarities Activating one or more of these enzymes often constitutes an early, critical step in many regulatory processes, such as signal transduction, vesicular trafficking, secretion, and cytoskeletal rearrangements Lipid-based signaling plays pivotal roles in plant stress responses, cell size, shape, growth, apoptosis, proliferation, and reproduction - Font no determinada Front Matter....Pages i-viii Front Matter....Pages 1-1 PLD: Phospholipase Ds in Plant Signaling....Pages 3-26 PI-PLC: Phosphoinositide-Phospholipase C in Plant Signaling....Pages 27-54 NPC: Nonspecific Phospholipase Cs in Plant Functions....Pages 55-67 Phosphatidic Acid as Lipid Messenger and Growth Regulators in Plants....Pages 69-92 pPLA: Patatin-Related Phospholipase As with Multiple Biological Functions....Pages 93-108 sPLA 2 and PLA 1 : Secretory Phospholipase A 2 and Phospholipase A 1 in Plants....Pages 109-118 Front Matter....Pages 119-119 Phospholipase Ds in Plant Response to Hyperosmotic Stresses....Pages 121-134 Phospholipases in Nitric Oxide-Mediated Plant Signaling....Pages 135-158 Phospholipases in Plant Response to Nitrogen and Phosphorus Availability....Pages 159-180 Front Matter....Pages 181-181 Phospholipase A in Plant Immunity....Pages 183-205 Lipases in Signaling Plant Defense Responses....Pages 207-228
