Very-long-chain fatty acids (ie, fatty acids with more than 18 carbon atoms; VLCFA) are
important molecules that play crucial physiological and structural roles in plants. VLCFA are …

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 …

Acyl lipids in Arabidopsis and all other plants have a myriad of diverse functions. These
include providing the core diffusion barrier of the membranes that separates cells and …

Non-target-site resistance (NTSR) to herbicides in weeds can be conferred as a result of the
alteration of one or more physiological processes, including herbicide absorption …

Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are essential molecules produced by all plant cells,
and are components or precursors of numerous specialized metabolites synthesized in …

Sphingolipids and their phosphorylated derivatives are ubiquitous bio-active components of
cells. They are structural elements in the lipid bilayer and contribute to the dynamic nature of …

Ceramide is located at a key hub in the sphingolipid metabolic pathway and also acts as an
important cellular signaling molecule. Ceramide contains one acyl chain which is attached …

Programmed cell death (PCD) is a ubiquitous genetically regulated process consisting in an
activation of finely controlled signaling pathways that lead to cellular suicide. Although some …

Bacteria and fungi can undergo symbiotic or pathogenic interactions with plants. Membrane
lipids and lipid-derived molecules from the plant or the microbial organism play important …

Sphingolipids, which comprise membrane systems together with other lipids, are ubiquitous
in cellular organisms. They show a high degree of diversity across plant species and vary in …
