Abstract
As the outermost barrier to the apoplast, the plasma membrane is critical for sensing and propagating signals that arise at the cell surface. Plasma membrane lipids are important mediators of signaling and the phosphoinositides (PIs), and sphingolipids are the major classes of lipids implicated in plant signaling. In this chapter, we will summarize the major findings on plant PI signaling and on the emerging signaling role of sphingolipids.
