Abstract:

Phospholipase C(PLC)is an important enzyme that plays an important role in lipid and Ca2+ dependent signaling pathways. It hydrolyzes phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate(PIP2)into two important second messenger molecules:the lipid diacylglycerol and the soluble molecule inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate. Phospholipase C can be classified into phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C and non-specific phospholipase C based on the respective to different substrates. Plant PLC gene plays an important role in plant response to abiotic stress(osmotic stress,low temperature stress,drought stress etc.)and biological stress via regulating varied signaling pathways. In this review,the classification,structure,biochemical characteristics and physiological functions of phospholipase C in plants are discussed,and the future directions of the research are prospected.

Key words: phospholipase C, PI-PLC, NPC, biochemical characteristics, physiological function
