PLD alpha

Symbol: PLD alpha
Species: (Taxid: 820816)

Functional description:
Phospholipase D; Catalysis the hydroysis of glyceropphospholipids to produce phosphatidic acid [9188441]; involved in proliferation, vesicle trafficking, membrane remodeling, nutrient starvation, and plant-pathogen interactions [10198096]

Observation:

Antisense suppression of PLD alpha retards abscisic acid- and ethylene-induced senescence. Leaves detached from PLD alpha-deficient transgenic plants when inbutated in abscisic acid and ethylene exhibit a slower rate of senescence that those from wild-type and transgenic controls. PLD alpha deficient strains are associated with retardation of senescence as evidenced by delayed leaf yellowing, lower ion leakage, greater photosynthetic activity, and higher content of cholorophyl and phospholipids [9437863].

Antisense suppression of PLD alpha does not affect natural plant growth and development [9437863].



Interventions:
  • PLD alpha antisense

  • Assays: Organismal Lifespan

    Classification:
  • Gerontogene
  • Positive Gerontogene


  • Note: Is it PLDALPHA1 or PLDALPHA2?
