New insight into silica deposition in horsetail (
BMC Plant Biology, 2011 Background The horsetails (Equisetum sp) are known biosilicifiers though the mechanism underlying silica deposition in these plants remains largely unknown.

The interactive effects of arbuscular mycorrhiza and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria synergistically enhance host plant defences against pathogens [PDF]
, 2017 Belowground interactions between plant roots, mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can improve plant health via enhanced nutrient acquisition and priming of the plant immune system.

Callose Synthesis Suppresses Cell Death Induced by Low-Calcium Conditions in Leaves1
Plant Physiology, 2020 Callose is required for the suppression of cell death and necrosis induced by calcium deficiency. Despite the importance of preventing calcium (Ca) deficiency disorders in agriculture, knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying plant adaptations to

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Citrus greening disease, or Huanglongbing (HLB), has caused devastating losses to citrus production in Florida, with yields declining by over 90% since 2005. Despite extensive efforts, no sustainable solution has been widely effective. Here, transgenic ‘Hamlin’ sweet orange lines engineered to constitutively express the Arabidopsis NPR1 ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi secrete a great number of effector proteins into various organelles of host plants and suppress plant immunity through different mechanisms. In this study, we identify SCRE7 as a unique nuclear effector that is essential for U. virens infection.

The zinc finger protein DCM1 is required for male meiotic cytokinesis by preserving callose in rice. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Meiotic cytokinesis influences the fertility and ploidy of gametes. However, limited information is available on the genetic control of meiotic cytokinesis in plants. Here, we identified a rice mutant with low male fertility, defective callose in meiosis

Phloem loading in the sucrose-export-defective (SXD-1) mutant maize is limited by callose deposition at plasmodesmata in bundle sheath-vascular parenchyma interface [PDF]
, 2000 Using Lucifer Yellow we have demonstrated that the phloem-loading pathway from the mesophyll to the bundle sheath-vascular parenchyma interface in Zea mays source leaves follows a symplasmic route in small and intermediate vascular bundles in control as ...

Nanoscale glucan polymer network causes pathogen resistance. [PDF]
, 2014 Successful defence of plants against colonisation by fungal pathogens depends on the ability to prevent initial penetration of the plant cell wall. Here we report that the pathogen-induced (1,3)-β-glucan cell wall polymer callose, which is deposited at ...
