Abstract: Phospholipase C(PLC)is a key member from phospholipase family, it cleaves phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate(PIP2) into diacylglycerol(DAG)and inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate(IP3). In animals, PLCs are recognized as key components of signals through specific targets, such as protein kinase C or Ca2+-dependentsignaling networks. In plants, PLCs were characterized to regulate several abiotic and biotic stresses, but the mechanism of it are still unknown. In this review, we focused on the classification, structure, and the functions in different signal transduction.

Key words: PLC gene, Inositol trisphosphate, Diacylglycerol, Structure, Signal transduction
