Abstract

In plants external stimulus can be perceived and amplified in the cells by functional signaling cascades. Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C is an enzyme shown to initiate and provide key events in the cellular responses to extracellular signals. Both substrate and products of phospholipase C are involved in the regulation of numerous processes in plant cells. In this review, we focused on molecular basis of the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C signaling pathways. The data analyzed will help to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for plant’s ability to respond to a variety of biotic and abiotic stress signals.
Keywords: phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C, signal transduction
