In conclusion, our series of recent studies have clearly demonstrated a role of various
PLD alphas in the processes of fruit development and ripening. The
LePLD
cDNAs that
have been isolated from various fruits appear to be unique with respect to their develop-
mental regulation and the putative properties of the encoded protein, especially in relation
to potential calcium-binding motifs in the C2 domain and the phospholipase D active site
domains. Further studies are in progress to understand the biochemical mechanism of in-
teraction of various motifs in the overall regulation of PLD.
