In nature, plants constantly have to face pathogen attacks. However, plant disease rarely
occurs due to efficient immune systems possessed by the host plants. Pathogens are …

Cell membranes are the initial site of stimulus perception from environment and
phospholipids are the basic and important components of cell membranes. Phospholipases …

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 …

Volatile compounds act as a language that plants use for their communication and
interaction with the surrounding environment. To date, a total of 1700 volatile compounds …

A sensitive approach based on electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry has been
employed to profile membrane lipid molecular species in Arabidopsis undergoing cold and …

The Arabidopsis mutant defective in anther dehiscence1 (dad1) shows defects in anther
dehiscence, pollen maturation, and flower opening. The defects were rescued by the …

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 …

To understand the gene network controlling tolerance to cold stress, we performed an
Arabidopsis thaliana genome transcript expression profile using Affymetrix GeneChips that …

In this work, the role of jasmonic acid (JA) in leaf senescence is examined. Exogenous
application of JA caused premature senescence in attached and detached leaves in wild …

Phyto-oxylipins are metabolites produced in plants by the oxidative transformation of
unsaturated fatty acids via a series of diverging metabolic pathways. Biochemical dissection …
