Specific Changes in Arabidopsis thaliana Rosette Lipids during Freezing Can Be Associated with Freezing Tolerance

Metabolites, 2022
While the roles of a few specific lipids in plant freezing tolerance are understood, the effect of many plant lipids remains to be determined. Acclimation of plants to non-freezing cold before exposure to freezing temperatures improves the outcome of ...

Two Different Phospholipases C, Isc1 and Pgc1, Cooperate To Regulate Mitochondrial Function

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The absence of Isc1, the yeast homologue of mammalian neutral sphingomyelinase type 2, leads to severe mitochondrial dysfunction. We show that the deletion of another type C phospholipase, the phosphatidylglycerol (PG)-specific phospholipase Pgc1 ...
