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 …

Anionic phospholipids, which include phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine, and
phosphoinositides, represent a small percentage of membrane lipids. They are able to …

Doubled haploid technology has been widely applied to multiple plant species and is
recognized as one of the most important technologies for improving crop breeding efficiency …

The capacity to respond to day length, photoperiodism, is crucial for flowering plants to
adapt to seasonal change. The photoperiodic control of flowering in plants is mediated by a …

Pollen tubes elongate within the pistil to transport sperms to the female gametophytes for
fertilization. Pollen tubes grow at their tips through a rapid and polarized cell growth process …

Since the discovery of the phosphoinositide/phospholipase C (PI/PLC) system in animal
systems, we know that phospholipids are much more then just structural components of …

Accumulating evidence suggests that phosphatidic acid (PA) plays a pivotal role in the
plant's response to environmental signals. Besides phospholipase D (PLD) activity, PA can …

The membranes of eukaryotic cells create hydrophobic barriers that control substance and
information exchange between the inside and outside of cells and between cellular …

Cell polarization is intimately linked to plant development, growth, and responses to the
environment. Major advances have been made in our understanding of the signaling …

Tip growth, a spatially focused cell expansion, has been best characterized in two plant cell
types: pollen tubes and root hairs. It has long been established that both cell types require …
