Analysis of a novel mutant allele of GSL8 reveals its key roles in cytokinesis and symplastic trafficking in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Background Plant cell walls are mainly composed of polysaccharides such as cellulose and callose. Callose exists at a very low level in the cell wall; however, it plays critical roles at different stages of plant development as well as in defence against

Solanum tuberosum glucan synthase-like 05 is involved in root-knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla parasitism [PDF]
The Glucan Synthase-like 5 (GSL05) gene in potato is homologous to the Arabidopsis GSL05 that has a role in defense-related callose deposition. The role of GSL05-mediated callose deposition in potato roots during root-knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla ...

Callose homeostasis at plasmodesmata: molecular control and developmental regulation. [PDF]
Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels that are located in the plant cell wall and that physically interconnect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.

Role of callose accumulation in the suppression of calcium-deficiency-induced necrosis in Arabidopsis thaliana cotyledons [PDF]
Calcium (Ca) deficiency symptoms, such as blossom end rot in tomato and tip burn in lettuce, are among the most serious physiological disorders in agriculture. A common feature of this disorder is the expansion of necrosis. However, mechanisms underlying

CalloseMeasurer: a novel software solution to measure callose deposition and recognise spreading callose patterns [PDF]
Background Quantification of callose deposits is a useful measure for the activities of plant immunity and pathogen growth by fluorescence imaging. For robust scoring of differences, this normally requires many technical and biological replicates and ...

Role of callose synthases in transfer cell wall development in tocopherol deficient Arabidopsis mutants [PDF]
Tocopherols (vitamin E) are lipid-soluble antioxidants produced by all plants and algae, and many cyanobacteria, yet their functions in these photosynthetic organisms are still not fully understood.

Sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Quantification of Callose
The existing methods of callose quantification include epifluorescence microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometry of aniline blue-stained callose particles, immuno-fluorescence microscopy and indirect assessment of both callose synthase and β-(1,3 ...

The function and biosynthesis of callose in high plants
The two main glucan polymers cellulose and callose in plant cell wall are synthesized at the plasma membrane by cellulose or callose synthase complexes. Cellulose is the prevalent glucan in cell wall and provides strength to the walls to support directed

According to the interhemispheric inhibition model of neglect, the uninjured hemisphere inhibits (via the corpus callosum) the injured hemisphere but the injured hemisphere can no longer inhibit the opposite hemisphere, which becomes hyperactive and produces an ipsilesional attentional bias.
