Abstract
Cellular membranes are important reservoirs for signaling lipids and their precursors. Plant lipases have important functions in the release/synthesis of signaling lipids that contribute to plant defense against pests, including effector- and MAMP-triggered immunity and the hypersensitive response. However, some pests have evolved a way to hijack host lipases and use them to counter and/or suppress host defenses. Other pests actively secrete lipases to breakdown host membranes, releasing molecular signals that benefit growth and development of the pest. This chapter focuses on progress made in recent years toward the identification and characterization of lipases that have important roles in the outcome of plant interaction with pests.
