Cell membranes are the initial site of stimulus perception from environment and
phospholipids are the basic and important components of cell membranes. Phospholipases …

Chloroplasts contain high amounts of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and
digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) and low levels of the anionic lipids …

Acyl lipids in Arabidopsis and all other plants have a myriad of diverse functions. These
include providing the core diffusion barrier of the membranes that separates cells and …

Taking advantage of natural variation promotes our understanding of phenotypic diversity
and trait evolution, ultimately accelerating plant breeding, in which the identification of …

Pollen tubes extend through pistil tissues and are guided to ovules where they release
sperm for fertilization. Although pollen tubes can germinate and elongate in a synthetic …

Phospholipids are essential components of biological membranes and signal transduction
cascades in plants. In recent years, plant phospholipid research was greatly advanced by …

Choline (Cho) is an essential nutrient for humans as well as the precursor of glycine betaine
(GlyBet), an important compatible solute in eukaryotes that protects cells from osmotic stress …

The plasma membrane is an important cellular organ that perceives incoming
developmental and environmental signals and integrates these signals into cellular …

Root branching happens through the formation of new meristems out of a limited number of
pericycle cells inside the parent root. As opposed to shoot branching, the study of lateral root …

Arabidopsis FT protein is a component of florigen, which transmits photoperiodic flowering
signals from leaf companion cells to the shoot apex. Here, we show that FT specifically binds …
