Lipids are one of the major components of biological membranes including the plasma
membrane, which is the interface between the cell and the environment. It has become clear …

Polyphosphoinositides (PPIs) became famous for their role in inositol‐1, 4, 5‐trisphosphate
(InsP3) mediated‐Ca2+ signalling in mammalian cells, generated through signal‐activated …

Plant genomes lack homologues of the inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor and protein
kinase C, which are important components of the canonical phospholipase C signalling …

Rapid stomatal closure is essential for water conservation in plants and is thus critical for
survival under water deficiency. To close stomata rapidly, guard cells reduce their volume by …

All things flow and change… even in the stillest matter there is unseen flux and movement.

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

Polyamines, such as putrescine, spermidine and spermine (Spm), are low‐molecular‐
weight polycationic molecules present in all living organisms. Despite their implication in …

Phospholipase C (PLC) is a well-known signaling enzyme in metazoans that hydrolyzes
phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to produce inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate and …

Phospholipase C (PLC) is well known for its role in animal signaling, where it generates the
second messengers, inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), by …

The plant Shaker K+ channel AtAKT2 has been identified as a weakly rectifying channel that
can stabilize membrane potentials to promote photoassimilate phloem loading and …
