Plant sphingolipids are not only structural components of the plasma membrane and other
endomembrane systems but also act as signaling molecules during biotic and abiotic …

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 …

Plants exist in an environment of changing abiotic and biotic stresses. They have developed
a complex set of strategies to respond to these stresses and over recent years it has become …

Sphingolipids, a once overlooked class of lipids in plants, are now recognized as abundant
and essential components of plasma membrane and other endomembranes of plant cells. In …

Inter-organelle communication is an integral subcellular process in cellular homeostasis. In
plants, cellular membrane lipids are synthesized in the plastids and endoplasmic reticulum …

Fumonisin toxins are produced by Fusarium fungal pathogens. Fumonisins are structural
analogs of sphingosine and potent inhibitors of ceramide synthases (CerSs); they disrupt …

Stomata, microscopic pores in leaf surfaces through which water loss and carbon dioxide
uptake occur, are closed in response to drought by the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) …

This review is focused on sphingolipid backbone hydroxylation, a small but widespread
structural feature with profound impact on membrane biophysical properties. We start by …

In plant cells, phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a major glycerolipid of most membranes but
practically lacking from the plastid internal membranes. In chloroplasts, PC is absent from …

The activation of phospholipase D (PLD) produces phosphatidic acid (PA), whereas plant
sphingosine kinase (SPHK) phosphorylates long-chain bases to generate long-chain base …
