Sphingolipid long chain bases as mediators of cell death in olive fruit abscission
Plant sphingolipids are lipophilic membrane components essential for different cellular functions but they also act as signaling molecules in various aspects of plant development. However, the interaction between plant sphingolipids and abscission remains largely uncharacterized. Here, the possible...

| Sumario: | Plant sphingolipids are lipophilic membrane components essential for different cellular functions but they also act as signaling molecules in various aspects of plant development. However, the interaction between plant sphingolipids and abscission remains largely uncharacterized. Here, the possible role of sphingolipids in regulating fruit abscission was examined in the abscission zone (AZ) of olive fruit. To this end, sphingolipid levels were manipulated through the application of exogenous sphingolipid long-chain bases (LCBs) or biosynthesis inhibitors, and their effects on fruit abscission as well as sphingolipid LCB/gene expression, hormones, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell death levels were examined in the AZ of olive fruit. Our data indicated that exogenous sphinganine (d18:0) induced fruit abscission, whereas the application of sphingosine (d18:1) or phytosphingosine (t18:0) or their phosphorylated derivatives did not have an effect on fruit abscission. Moreover, inhibition of LCB kinase or cera |
