The review is devoted to the analysis of publications ñoncerning the role of phospholipase D (PLD) in regulation of metabolism in plant cells. Analysis of molecular and genetic studies suggest that PLD is an important component of various hormonal and stress signaling pathways.
Keywords: phospholipase D, phosphatidic acid, transgenic plants.
