*2.1.2 Phospholipids*

Phospholipids play a pivotal role in the structural regulation and dynamics of the cytoskeletal organization by the interaction of its molecules with multiple actin-binding proteins, viz. profilin, gelsolin, α-actin, cofilin, filamin, vinculin, etc. [21, 22]. Phospholipid molecules are considered as essential structural elements of cell membranes, emerging as important second messengers to regulate plant growth, development, and cellular responses to environmental stresses through different mechanisms [23]. It is well recognized that phosphoinositides are involved in membrane trafficking and signaling in the cell responses to stress stimuli such as salt, osmotic, temperature, pathogen stressors, etc. [23, 24].
