Abstract
Lipids are widely distributed in various tissues of an organism, mainly in plant storage organs (e.g., fruits, seeds, etc.). Lipids are vital biological substances that are involved in: signal transduction, membrane biogenesis, energy storage, and the formation of transmembrane fat-soluble substances. Some lipids and related lipid derivatives could be changed in their: content, location, or physiological activity by the external environment, such as biotic or abiotic stresses. Lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs) play important roles in regulating intermediary lipid metabolism and cellular signal response. LPPs can dephosphorylate lipid phosphates containing phosphate monolipid bonds such as: phosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), and diacylglycerol pyrophosphate, etc. These processes can change the contents of some important lipid signal mediation such as diacylglycerol and LPA, affecting lipid signal transmission. Here, we summarize the research progress of LPPs in plants, emphasizing the structural and biochemical characteristics of LPPs and their role in spatio-temporal regulation. In the future, more in-depth studies are required to boost our understanding of the key role of plant LPPs and lipid metabolism in: signal regulation, stress tolerance pathway, and plant growth and development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mexico is considered the diversification center for chili species, but these crops are susceptible to infection by pathogens such as Colletotrichum spp., which causes anthracnose disease and postharvest decay in general. Studies have been carried out with isolated strains of Colletotrichum in Capsicum plants; however, under growing conditions, microorganisms generally interact with others, resulting in an increase or decrease of their ability to infect the roots of C. chinense seedlings and thus, cause disease. RESULTS Morphological changes were evident 24 h after inoculation (hai) with the microbial consortium, which consisted primarily of C. ignotum. High levels of diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (DGPP) and phosphatidic acid (PA) were found around 6 hai. These metabolic changes could be correlated with high transcription levels of diacylglycerol-kinase (CchDGK1 and CchDG31) at 3, 6 and 12 hai and also to pathogen gene markers, such as CchPR1 and CchPR5. CONCLUSIONS Our data constitute the first evidence for the phospholipids signalling events, specifically DGPP and PA participation in the phospholipase C/DGK (PI-PLC/DGK) pathway, in the response of Capsicum to the consortium, offering new insights on chilis' defense responses to damping-off diseases.

Abstract
The signaling lipids phosphatidic acid (PA) and diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (DGPP) are involved in regulating the stress response in plants. PA and DGPP are anionic lipids consisting of a negatively charged phosphomonoester or pyrophosphate group attached to diacylglycerol, respectively. Changes in the pH modulate the protonation of their head groups modifying the interaction with other effectors. Here, we examine in a controlled system how the presence of Ca2+ modulates the surface organization of dioleyl diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (DGPP) and its interaction with dioleoyl phosphatidic acid (DOPA) at different pHs. Both lipids formed expanded monolayers at pH 5 and 8. At acid and basic pHs, monolayers formed by DOPA or DGPP became denser when Ca2+ was added to the subphase. At pH 5, Ca2+ also induced an increase of surface potential of both lipids. Conversely, at pH 8 the effects induced by the presence of Ca2+ on the surface potential were reversed. Mixed monolayers of DOPA and DGPP showed a non-ideal behavior. The addition of even tiny amounts of DGPP to DOPA films caused a reduction of the mean molecular area. This effect was more evident at pH 8 compared to pH 5. Our finding suggests that low amounts of DGPP in an film enriched in DOPA could lead to a local increase in film packing with a concomitant change in the local polarization, further regulated by local pH. This fact may have implications for the assigned role of PA as a pH-sensing phospholipid or during its interaction with proteins.

Abstract
The remodeling of membrane lipids is a mechanism that allows microorganisms to survive in unfavorable environments such as industrial effluents, which often contain inorganic and organic pollutants, like chromium and phenol. In the present work, we evaluated the effect of Cr(VI) and phenol on the membrane of Acinetobacter guillouiae SFC 500-1A, a bacterial strain isolated from tannery sediments where such pollutants can be found. The presence of lipid kinases and phospholipases and the changes in their activities under exposure to these pollutants were determined. Cr(VI) and Cr(VI) + phenol caused the membrane to become more rigid for up to 16 h after exposure. This could be due to an increase in cardiolipin (Ptd2 Gro) and a decrease in phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), which are indicative of more order and rigidity in the membrane. Increased phospholipase A activity (PLA, EC 3.1.1.4) could be responsible for the decrease in PtdEtn levels. Moreover, our results indicate that Cr(VI) and Cr(VI) + phenol trigger the phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) signal. The finding of significantly increased phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PtdIns-4-P) levels means this is likely achieved via PtdIns-PLC/DGK. This report provides the first evidence that A. guillouiae SFC 500-1A is able to sense Cr(VI) and phenol, transduce this signal through changes in the physical state of the membrane, and trigger lipid-signaling events.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is an important bioactive lipid that mediates chilling responses in barley. Modifications in the lipid composition of cellular membranes during chilling are essential to maintain their integrity and fluidity. First, we investigated the molecular species of PA present in leaves and roots by ESI-MS/MS, to evaluate the modifications that occur in response to chilling. We demonstrated that PA pools in leaves differ from PA fatty acid composition in roots. Compared with plants grown at 25 °C, the short-term and long-term chilling for 3 h and 36 h at 4 °C not produced significant changes in PA molecular species. The endogenous DAG and PA phosphorylation by in vitro DAG and PA kinase activities showed higher activity in leaves compared with that in root, and they showed contrasting responses to chilling. Similarly, PA removal by phosphatidate phosphohydrolase was tested, showing that this activity was specifically increased in response to chilling in roots. The findings presented here may be helpful to understand how the PA signal is modulated between tissues, and may serve to highlight the importance of knowing the basal PA pools in different plant organs.

Lipid signalling mediated by PLD/PA modulates proline and H 2O 2 levels in barley seedlings exposed to short- and long-term chilling stress. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2017; 113:149-160.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolyses phospholipids to yield phosphatidic acid (PA) and a head group, and is involved in responses to a variety of environmental stresses, including chilling and freezing stress. Barley responses to chilling stress (induced by incubating seedlings at 4 °C) are dynamic and the duration of stress, either short (0-180 min) or long-term (24-36 h) had a significant impact on the response. We investigated the roles of PLD/PA in responses of barley (Hordeum vulgare) seedlings to short and long-term chilling stress, based on regulation of proline and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Short-term chilling stress caused rapid and transient increases in PLD activity, proline level, and ROS levels in young leaves. PLD has the ability to catalyse the transphosphatidylation reaction leading to formation of phosphatidylalcohol (preferentially, to PA). Pre-treatment of seedlings with 1-butanol significantly increased proline synthesis but decreased ROS (H2O2) formation. These observations suggest that PLD is a negative regulator of proline synthesis, whereas PA/PLD promote ROS signals. Exogenous PA pre-treatment reduced the proline synthesis but enhanced H2O2 formation. Effects of long-term chilling stress on barley seedlings differed from those of short-term chilling stress. E.g., PLD activity was significantly reduced in young leaves and roots, whereas proline synthesis and ROS signals were increased in roots. Exogenous ROS application enhanced proline level while exogenous proline application reduced ROS level and modulated some effects of long-term chilling stress. Our findings suggest that PLD contributes to signalling pathways in responses to short-term chilling stress in barley seedling, through regulation of the balance between proline and ROS levels. In contrast, reduced PLD activity in the response to long-term chilling stress did not affect proline level. Increased ROS levels may reflect an antioxidant system that is affected by chilling stress and positively compensated by changes in proline level. Implications of our findings are discussed in regard to adaptation strategies of barley seedlings to low temperatures.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max) is often exposed to high arsenic (As) level in soils or through irrigation with groundwater. In previous studies on As-treated soybean seedlings we showed deleterious effect on growth, structural alterations mainly in root vascular system and induction of antioxidant enzymes. However, there are not reports concerning signal transduction pathways triggered by the metalloid in order to develop adaptive mechanisms. Phosphatidic acid (PA), a key messenger in plants, can be generated via phospholipase D (PLD) or via phospholipase C (PLC) coupled to diacylglycerol kinase (DGK). Thus, changes in PA and in an enzyme involved in its metabolism (PLD) were analysed in soybean seedlings treated with 25 μM AsV or AsIII. The present study demonstrated that As triggers the PA signal by PLD and also via PLC/DGK mainly after 48 h of As treatment. DGPP, other lipid messenger produced by phosphorylation of PA by PAK increased in As treated roots. Arsenic also induced rapid and significant stomatal closure after 1.5 h of treatment, mainly with AsIII, probably as an adaptive response to the metalloid to reduce water loss by transpiration. This report constitute the first evidence that shows the effects of As on lipid signalling events in soybean seedlings which would be crucial in adaptation and survival of soybean seedlings under As stress.

Abstract
The aleurona cell is a model that allows the study of the antagonistic effect of gibberellic acid (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA). Previous results of our laboratory demonstrated the involvement of phospholipids during the response to ABA and GA. ABA modulates the levels of diacylglycerol, phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (DAG, PA, DGPP) through the activities of phosphatidate phosphatases, phospholipase D, diacylglycerol kinase and phosphatidate kinase (PAP, PLD, DGK and PAK). PA and DGPP are key phospholipids in the response to ABA, since both are capable of modifying the hydrolitic activity of the aleurona. Nevertheless, little is known about the mechanism of action of these phospholipids during the ABA signal. DGPP is an anionic phospholipid with a pyrophosphate group attached to diacylglycerol. The ionization of the pyrophosphate group may be important to allow electrostatic interactions between DGPP and proteins. To understand how DGPP mediates cell functions in barley aleurone, we used a DGPP affinity membrane assay to isolate DGPP-binding proteins from Hordeum vulgare, followed by mass spectrometric sequencing. A cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH, EC 1.2.1.12) was identified for being bound to DGPP. To validate our method, the relatively abundant GAPDH was characterized with respect to its lipid-binding properties, by fat western blot. GAPDH antibody interacts with proteins that only bind to DGPP and PA. We also observed that ABA treatment increased GAPDH abundance and enzyme activity. The presence of phospholipids during GAPDH reaction modulated the GAPDH activity in ABA treated aleurone. These data suggest that DGPP binds to GAPDH and this DGPP and GAPDH interaction provides new evidences in the study of DGPP-mediated ABA responses in barley aleurone.

Abstract
The cereal aleurone cells differentiate from the endosperm epidermis with the exception of endosperm transfer cells. Aleurone cells contain proteins, lipids, and minerals, and are important for digesting the endosperm storage products to nurse the embryo under effects of several hormones during the seed germination. The differentiation of aleurone cells is related to location effect and special gene expression. Moreover, the differentiation of aleurone cells is probably affected by the cues from maternal tissues. In the paper, differentiation mechanism and function of aleurone cells and hormone effects on them are reviewed. Some speculations about the differentiation mechanism of aleurone cells are given here.

Abstract
Diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (DGPP) is a minor lipid that attenuates the phosphatidic acid (PA) signal, and also DGPP itself would be a signaling lipid. Diacylglycerol pyrophosphate is an anionic phospholipid with a pyrophosphate group attached to diacylglycerol that was shown to respond to changes of pH, thus affecting the surface organization of DGPP and their interaction with PA. In this work, we have investigated how the presence of Zn(2+) modulates the surface organization of DGPP and its interaction with PA at acidic and basic pHs. Both lipids formed expanded monolayers at pHs 5 and 8. At pH 5, monolayers formed by DGPP became stiffer when Zn(2+)was added to the subphase, while the surface potential decreased. At this pH, Zn(2+) induced a phase transition from an expanded to a condensed-phase state in monolayers formed by PA. Conversely, at pH 8 the effects induced by the presence of Zn(2+) on the surface behaviors of the pure lipids were smaller. Thus, the interaction of the bivalent cation with both lipids was modulated by pH and by the ionization state of the polar head groups. Mixed monolayers of PA and DGPP showed a non-ideal behavior and were not affected by the presence of Zn(2+) at pH 8. This could be explained considering that when mixed, the lipids formed a closely packed monolayer that could not be further modified by the cation. Our results indicate that DGPP and PA exhibit expanded- and condensed-phase states depending on pH, on the proportion of each lipid in the film and on the presence of Zn(2+). This may have implications for a possible role of DGPP as a signaling lipid molecule.

Abstract
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is the common lipid product in abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellic acid (GA) response. In this work we investigated the lipid metabolism in response to both hormones. We could detect an in vivo phospholipase D activity (PLD, EC 3.1.4.4). This PLD produced [(32)P]PA (phosphatidic acid) rapidly (minutes) in the presence of ABA, confirming PA involvement in signal transduction, and transiently, indicating rapid PA removal after generation. The presence of PA removal by phosphatidate phosphatase 1 and 2 isoforms (E.C. 3.1.3.4) was verified in isolated aleurone membranes in vitro, the former but not the latter being specifically responsive to the presence of GA or ABA. The in vitro DGPP phosphatase activity was not modified by short time incubation with GA or ABA while the in vitro PA kinase - that allows the production of 18:2-DGPP from 18:2-PA - is stimulated by ABA. The long term effects (24 h) of ABA or GA on lipid and fatty acid composition of aleurone layer cells were then investigated. An increase in PC and, to a lesser extent, in PE levels is the consequence of both hormone treatments. ABA, in aleurone layer cells, specifically activates a PLD whose product, PA, could be the substrate of PAP1 and/or PAK activities. Neither PLD nor PAK activation can be monitored by GA treatment. The increase in PAP1 activity monitored after ABA or GA treatment might participate in the increase in PC level observed after 24 h hormone incubation.

Abstract
We analyzed lipid kinase and lipid phosphatase activities and determined endogenous phytohormone levels by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in root and coleoptile tissues following germination of barley (Hordeum vulgare) seeds. The enzymes showing highest activity in aleurone cells were diacylglycerol kinase (DAG-k, EC 2.7.1.107) and phosphatidate kinase (PA-k). The ratio of gibberellins (GAs) to abscisic acid (ABA) was 2-fold higher in aleurone than in coleoptile or root tissues. In coleoptiles, phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4-k, EC 2.7.1.67) showed the highest enzyme activity, and jasmonic acid (JA) level was higher than in aleurone. In roots, activities of PI4-k, DAG-k, and PA-k were similar, and salicylic acid (SA) showed the highest concentration. In the assays to evaluate the hydrolysis of DGPP (diacylglycerol pyrophosphate) and PA (phosphatidic acid) we observed that PA hydrolysis by LPPs (lipid phosphate phosphatases) was not modified; however, the diacylglycerol pyrophosphate phosphatase (DGPPase) was strikingly higher in coleoptile and root tissues than to aleurone. Relevance of these findings in terms of signaling responses and seedling growth is discussed.

Abstract
The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas has frequently been used as a eukaryotic model system to study intracellular phospholipid signaling pathways in response to environmental stresses. Earlier, we found that hypersalinity induced a rapid increase in the putative lipid second messenger, phosphatidic acid (PA), which was suggested to be generated via activation of a phospholipase D (PLD) pathway and the combined action of a phospholipase C/diacylglycerol kinase (PLC/DGK) pathway. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) was also increased and was suggested to reflect a phospholipase A₂ (PLA₂) activity based on pharmacological evidence. The question of PA's and LPA's origin is, however, more complicated, especially as both function as precursors in the biosynthesis of phospho- and galactolipids. To address this complexity, a combination of fatty acid-molecular species analysis and in vivo ³²P-radiolabeling was performed. Evidence is provided that LPA is formed from a distinct pool of PA characterized by a high α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) content. This molecular species was highly enriched in the polyphosphoinositide fraction, which is the substrate for PLC to form diacylglycerol. Together with differential ³²P-radiolabeling studies and earlier PLD-transphosphatidylation and PLA₂-inhibitor assays, the data were consistent with the hypothesis that the salt-induced LPA response is primarily generated through PLA₂-mediated hydrolysis of DGK-generated PA and that PLD or de novo synthesis [via endoplasmic reticulum - or plastid-localized routes] is not a major contributor.

Abstract
Lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs, E.C. 3.1.3.4) catalyse the dephosphorylation of diacylglycerol pyrophosphate (DGPP) and phosphatidic acid (PA), which are secondary messengers in abscisic acid (ABA) signalling. In this study, we investigated the effect of ABA on the expression of AtLPP genes as they encode putative ABA-signalling partners. We observed that AtLPP2 expression was down-regulated by ABA and we performed experiments on Atlpp2-2, an AtLPP2 knockout mutant, to determine whether AtLPP2 was involved in ABA signalling. We observed that Atlpp2-2 plantlets contained about twice as much PA as the wild-type Col-0 and exhibited higher PA kinase (PAK) activity than Col-0 plants. In addition, we showed that ABA stimulated diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) activity independently of AtLPP2 activity but that the ABA-stimulation of PAK activity recorded in Col-0 was dependent on AtLPP2. In order to evaluate the involvement of AtLPP2 activity in guard cell function, we measured the ABA sensitivity of Atlpp2-2 stomata. The inhibition of stomatal opening was less sensitive to ABA in Atlpp2-2 than in Col-0. Watered and water-stressed plants of the two genotypes accumulated ABA to the same extent, thus leading us to consider Atlpp2-2 an ABA-signalling mutant. Taken together our observations show that AtLPP2 is a part of ABA signalling and participate to the regulation of stomatal movements.

Abstract
The decay of seed dormancy during after-ripening is not well understood, but elucidation of the mechanisms involved may be important for developing strategies for modifying dormancy in crop species and, for example, addressing the problem of preharvest sprouting in cereals. We have studied the germination characteristics of barley (Hordeum vulgare 'Betzes') embryos, including a description of anatomical changes in the coleorhiza and the enclosed seminal roots. The changes that occur correlate with abscisic acid (ABA) contents of embryo tissues. To understand the molecular mechanisms involved in dormancy loss, we compared the transcriptome of dormant and after-ripened barley embryos using a tissue-specific microarray approach. Our results indicate that in the coleorhiza, ABA catabolism is promoted and ABA sensitivity is reduced and that this is associated with differential regulation by after-ripening of ABA 8'-hydroxylase and of the LIPID PHOSPHATE PHOSPHATASE gene family and ABI3-INTERACTING PROTEIN2, respectively. We also identified other processes, including jasmonate responses, cell wall modification, nitrate and nitrite reduction, mRNA stability, and blue light sensitivity, that were affected by after-ripening in the coleorhiza that may be downstream of ABA signaling. Based on these results, we propose that the coleorhiza plays a major role in causing dormancy by acting as a barrier to root emergence and that after-ripening potentiates molecular changes related to ABA metabolism and sensitivity that ultimately lead to degradation of the coleorhiza, root emergence, and germination.
