Phospholipids Signaling System in Plant Innate Immunity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
PAMP Signals in Plant Innate Immunity

Part of the book series: Signaling and Communication in Plants ((SIGCOMM,volume 21))

Abstract

Phospholipids are the sources for production of the second messengers phosphatidic acid (PA), diacylglycerol (DAG), and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3), which are involved in defense signaling system. Phospholipase C (PLC) and phospholipase D (PLD) are the key enzymes involved in generation of the phospholipid second messengers. G-proteins, Ca2+ influx, nitric oxide (NO), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in PAMP elicitors-triggered activation of PLC and PLD. IP3 is involved in activation of Ca2+ signaling system. PA is an important second messenger in activating ROS, jasmonate (JA), abscisic acid (ABA) systems and it also activates phosphorylation/dephosphorylation in various signaling systems. DAG is involved in JA biosynthesis and ROS signaling system. Biphasic production of PA and ROS through distinctly different phospholipase pathways has been reported. Protein kinases and phosphatases play key roles in phospholipid signaling system.
