Secreted phospholipases (sPLA<sub>2</sub>s) in plants are a growing group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of <i>sn-2</i> glycerophospholipids to lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. Until today, around only 20 sPLA<sub>2</sub>s were reported from plants. This review discusses the newly acquired information on plant sPLA<sub>2</sub>s including molecular, biochemical, catalytic, and functional aspects. The comparative analysis also includes phylogenetic, evolutionary, and tridimensional ...[more]
