Advances in Molecular Regulation of Sphingolipids in Plant-fungus Interactions

doi:10.11983/CBB18099

Abstract

Abstract: Sphingolipids are essential components of cell membranes and take part in many critical processes of signal transduction. In plant-fungus interactions, plant sphingolipids mainly induce programmed cell death, whereas fungus sphingolipids induce plant death or plant disease resistance. In this paper, we summarize the structure and metabolic characteristics of plant and fungus sphingolipids as well as advances in the molecular regulation of sphingolipids in plant-fungus interactions. Moreover, the research direction of the role of sphingolipids in plant-fungus symbiosis is also prospected.

Key words: glucosylceramides, pathogenic fungi, programmed cell death, sphingosine
