Sphingolipids metabolism regulates plant growth and development
Sphingolipids are essential components of plant biomembrane system with their structure and con-tent varying significantly across different plant cells and tissues.They also function as intracellular signaling molecules,participating in the regulation of processes such as programmed cell death,stomatal open and clo-sure,root growth,pollen development,plant morphogenesis,and fruit ripening and shedding.Disruptions in sphingolipid metabolism result in the accumulation of substrates or products,leading to abnormal plant devel-opment.Currently,research on sphingolipids in plants primarily evaluates mutant phenotype and changes of sphingolipids content.However,there are significant research gaps due to a lack of precise regulatory net-works.This review summarized sphingolipids involved in plant sphingolipid metabolism and their related en-zyme.It also discussed the mutant phenotype of sphingolipid metabolism related genes and the possible causes of the mutant phenotype.
