sPLA2 and PLA1: Secretory Phospholipase A2 and Phospholipase A1 in Plants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Phospholipases in Plant Signaling

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM,volume 20))

Abstract

Plant phospholipase As (PLAs) are classified into two major types, PLA1 and PLA2, according to the hydrolysis sites of their membrane lipids. The lipid products released by PLAs have been suggested to act as bioactive molecules that mediate cellular signaling pathways functioning in plant growth and development, as well as responses to abiotic and biotic stimuli. The past few years have witnessed a wealth of new information regarding the function of these phospholipases in various biological processes. In this chapter, we discuss recent insights into lipid-based signaling mediated by PLAs and their lipid products, with particular emphasis on their emerging role as lipid mediators.
