a b s t r a c t Despite the fact that all plants follow strict developmental programmes, they also have intrinsic mech- anisms to monitor the environment and activate appropriate responses at the (sub-)cellular level, facilitating adaptation to abiotic and biotic fluctuations. The functionality of plant adaptive systems always relies on the sum of signalling machineries that control their transition from the resting state. Phosphoglycerolipids play a role in such signalling mechanisms. These structural components of cell membranes can be converted into multiple bioactive lipids, but also into soluble molecules. Together they shape cell metabolism via binding to downstream protein targets, thus affecting enzymatic activi- ties, vesicle trafficking and ion fluxes. The conversion of lipids is catalysed by the hydrolytic activity of phospholipases and by the action of lipid-kinases and lipid-phosphatases. These activities are strictly regulated in plant cells and are highly reactive to various environmental signals. While phospholipases have been shown to be essential for plant growth and adaptability, many aspects of phosphoglyc- erolipid signalling at the molecular level remain unknown. Here, we summarise the latest concepts and challenges associated with phosphoglycerolipid signalling in relation to environmental responses in plants. |
