Transduction of light and hormone signals in plants may utilize a mechanism similar to one widely used in animal systems, that of accelerated phosphatidylinositol (PI) turnover. The elements of this central mechanism and consequences of the acceleration as well as recent evidence for its operation in plants are described.
