The plasma membrane (PM) is the biological membrane that separates the interior of all
cells from the outside. The PM is constituted of a huge diversity of proteins and lipids. In this …

Phosphatidic acid (PA) has emerged as a new class of lipid mediators involved in diverse
cellular functions in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Considerable progress has been …

In plant cells, the calcium ion is a ubiquitous intracellular second messenger involved in
numerous signalling pathways. Variations in the cytosolic concentration of Ca2+ ([Ca2+] cyt) …

Plant pathogen attacks are perceived through pathogen-issued compounds or plant-derived
molecules that elicit defense reactions. Despite the large variety of elicitors, general …

Phosphatidic acid (PA) is an essential phospholipid involved in membrane biosynthesis and

Understanding how plants sense and respond to changes in nitrogen availability is the first
step toward developing strategies for biotechnological applications, such as improvement of …

Phosphatidic acid (PA) has only recently been identified as an important signaling molecule
in both plants and animals. Nonetheless, it already promises to rival the importance of the …

Phospholipids are emerging as novel second messengers in plant cells. They are rapidly
