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.

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

Genome-Wide Identification of Callose Synthase Family Genes and Their Expression Analysis in Floral Bud Development and Hormonal Responses in Prunus mume [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Callose is an important polysaccharide composed of beta-1,3-glucans and is widely implicated in plant development and defense responses. Callose synthesis is mainly catalyzed by a family of callose synthases, also known as glucan synthase-like (GSL ...

The multifarious role of callose and callose synthase in plant development and environment interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Callose is an important linear form of polysaccharide synthesized in plant cell walls. It is mainly composed of β-1,3-linked glucose residues with rare amount of β-1,6-linked branches.

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.

Solanum tuberosum glucan synthase-like 05 is involved in root-knot nematode Meloidogyne hapla parasitism [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe 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 ...

Entanglement of plant immunity and endomembrane trafficking revealed by plant-powdery mildew fungal interactions. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Plant immunity is complex, and studies of leaf epidermal cells attacked by powdery mildew fungi have been instrumental in revealing how it relies on plant endomembrane trafficking. Immunity against these biotrophic fungi is manifested as cell wall deposits (‘papillae’) and the hypersensitive reaction (HR), both involving plant endomembrane ...

Role of callose accumulation in the suppression of calcium-deficiency-induced necrosis in Arabidopsis thaliana cotyledons [PDF]
Plant Signaling & BehaviorCalcium (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

Callose in leptoid cell walls of the moss Polytrichum and the evolution of callose synthase across bryophytes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionLeptoids, the food-conducting cells of polytrichaceous mosses, share key structural features with sieve elements in tracheophytes, including an elongated shape with oblique end walls containing modified plasmodesmata or pores.

Gaining extensive resistance against clubroot disease through the disruption of a susceptibility gene. [PDF]
J Integr Plant BiolThis Commentary examines research by Wu et al. showing that β‐1,3‐glucan synthase‐like 5 (GSL5) functions as a key gene for susceptibility to clubroot in Brassica family members by suppressing immunity regulated by jasmonic acid. Inaction of GSL5 through genome editing provides broad‐spectrum resistance to clubroot.
