Abstract Phospholipases D (PLD) and C (PLC) hydrolyze the phosphodiesteric linkages of
the head group of membrane phospholipids. PLDs and PLCs in plants occur in different …

Background The number of retracted scholarly articles has risen precipitously in recent
years. Past surveys of the retracted literature each limited their scope to articles in PubMed …

Abstract Phospholipase Ds (PLDs) and PLD-derived phosphatidic acids (PAs) play vital
roles in plant hormonal and environmental responses and various cellular dynamics. Recent …

As an important metabolic pathway, phosphatidylinositol metabolism generates both
constitutive and signalling molecules that are crucial for plant growth and development …

Root hairs are extensions of root epidermal cells and a model system for directional tip
growth of plant cells. A previously uncharacterized Arabidopsis thaliana phosphatidylinositol …

Phosphoinositides (PIs) are minor, but essential phospholipid constituents of eukaryotic
membranes, and are involved in the regulation of various physiological processes. Recent …

Seeds slowly accumulate damage during storage, which ultimately results in germination
failure. The seed coat protects the embryo from the external environment, and its …

Normal leaf margin development is important for leaf morphogenesis and contributes to
diverse leaf shapes in higher plants. We here show the crucial roles of an atypical type II …

The devastating sheath blight disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn (teleomorph:
Thanatephorus cucumeris) causes major yield loss in most rice growing regions of the …

A genetic approach was used to increase phosphatidylinositol (4, 5) bisphosphate [PtdIns
(4, 5) P2] biosynthesis and test the hypothesis that PtdInsP kinase (PIPK) is flux limiting in …
