Notes
Abstract: Lipid bilayers represent the interface between cells (or organelles) and their environment. Consequently, membrane lipids and their derivatives play pivotal roles in inter- and intracellular signaling, and ultimately mediate organisms’ interactions with their biotic and abiotic environment. Plants contain an array of lipids, which include phospholipids, galactolipids, sphingolipids, and steroids. Besides their contribution as structural constituents of cellular membranes, lipids also serve as precursors for signaling metabolites that regulate plant growth, development and response to the environment (Hou et al., 2016; Lim et al., 2017). These signaling molecules include sphingolipids, lysophospholipids, and certain oxylipins such as the hormone jasmonic acid (JA), as well as secondary messengers such as phosphatidic acid (PA) and phosphoinositides (PIs) that are generated through the action of phospholipases. This special topic brings together new reports on several of these lipid classes to shed light on the impacts of plant lipid metabolism and membrane organization on plant immunity.
