Biological Functions
phytosphingosine (PHS) is a major LCB in some plants and is involved in cell signaling. Sphingolipidomic profiling revealed that PHS accumulates as early as 1 h after pathogen inoculation with virulent and avirulent strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato in Arabidopsis leaves.
