Abstract
Lipids besides being components of membranes and storage molecules are also involved in signalling processes and have proven to be vital components in plant defence mechanisms. Over the past decades, the intricate lipid-signalling pathways that underlie the establishment of defence responses have been extensively studied. These molecules can act directly as signalling agents in plant defence or serve as precursors in a plethora of biosynthetic pathways, leading to the production of phytohormones and other signalling agents. Lipids have proven to be promising elicitors by not only trigger a robust and appropriate defence response, across various plant species, but also induce resistance against a wide range of pathogens. Allied to this, lipids are widespread molecules in nature, which makes them an accessible resource and highlights their potential use as a sustainable approach to crop protection. This comprehensive review emphasizes the potential of lipids and lipid-derived molecules as elicitors in developing sustainable agricultural practices. By leveraging the natural defence mechanisms of plants, lipid elicitors offer a viable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional pest management strategies, contributing to the overall goal of sustainable agriculture.
期刊介绍：
The significance of lipids as a fundamental category of biological compounds has been widely acknowledged. The utilization of our understanding in the fields of biochemistry, chemistry, and physiology of lipids has continued to grow in biotechnology, the fats and oils industry, and medicine. Moreover, new aspects such as lipid biophysics, particularly related to membranes and lipoproteins, as well as basic research and applications of liposomes, have emerged. To keep up with these advancements, there is a need for a journal that can evaluate recent progress in specific areas and provide a historical perspective on current research. Progress in Lipid Research serves this purpose.
