ABSTRACT = {Castor (<i>Ricinus communis</i> L.) is one of the top 10 oil crops in the world, and inflorescence is a trait that directly
affects its yield. Phospholipase C (PLCs) is involved in many plant activities and metabolic processes. To study the
functions of <i>PLC</i> family genes in the regulation of the inflorescence development of the female line of Lm-type
castor aLmAB2, we determined the expression levels of six <i>PLC</i> family genes of three types of inflorescences of
aLmAB2 (isofemale line, female line, bisexual line) at different developmental stages. The results showed that the
6 genes of the castor <i>PLC</i> family had relative expression levels at different developmental stages of the three types
of inflorescences. The subcellular location of all six protein products was the cell membrane. The six genes were
heterologously overexpressed in Arabidopsis thaliana to obtain the T3 generation-resistant Arabidopsis thaliana
plants. The results showed that the overexpression of six genes significantly promoted the maturation of Arabidopsis thaliana, the growth of lateral moss, and the development of flowers and pods, but the development of
basal leaves and stem leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana was significantly inhibited. According to homology analysis,
it is speculated that <i>PLC2</i>, <i>PLC2M</i>, <i>PLC2N</i>, <i>PLC4</i>, <i>PLC4X2</i>, and <i>PLC6</i> genes have the same regulatory function.},
