Analysis of a novel mutant allele of GSL8 reveals its key roles in cytokinesis and symplastic trafficking in Arabidopsis [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 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

Callose homeostasis at plasmodesmata: molecular control and developmental regulation. [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels that are located in the plant cell wall and that physically interconnect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.

CalloseMeasurer: a novel software solution to measure callose deposition and recognise spreading callose patterns [PDF]
Plant Methods, 2012 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]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 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.

Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) mapping for callose synthases in intergeneric hybrids of Citrus challenged with the bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 Citrus plants have been extremely affected by Huanglongbing (HLB) worldwide, causing economic losses. HLB disease causes disorders in citrus plants, leading to callose deposition in the phloem vessel sieve plates.

The Arabidopsis Malectin-Like/LRR-RLK IOS1 is Critical for BAK1-Dependent and BAK1-Independent Pattern-Triggered Immunity [PDF]
, 2016 Plasma membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as FLAGELLIN SENSING2 (FLS2), EF-TU RECEPTOR (EFR) and CHITIN ELICITOR RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (CERK1) recognize microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) to activate pattern-triggered ...

Chitin perception in plasmodesmata characterizes submembrane immune-signaling specificity in plants [PDF]
, 2020 The plasma membrane (PM) is composed of heterogeneous subdomains, characterized by differences in protein and lipid composition. PM receptors can be dynamically sorted into membrane domains to underpin signaling in response to extracellular stimuli.

Callose Deposition: A Multifaceted Plant Defense Response
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2011 Callose deposition in Arabidopsis has emerged as a popular model system to quantify activity of plant immunity. However, there has been a noticeable rise in contradicting reports about the regulation of pathogen-induced callose.

GRP-3 and KAPP, encoding interactors of WAK1, negatively affect defense responses induced by oligogalacturonides and local response to wounding [PDF]
, 2016 Conserved microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) act as danger signals to activate the plant immune response.
