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.

Biochemical and cytological interactions between callose synthase and microtubules in the tobacco pollen tube. [PDF]

Plant Cell Rep, 2022
The article concerns the association between callose synthase and cytoskeleton by biochemical and ultrastructural analyses in the pollen tube. Results confirmed this association and immunogold labeling showed a colocalization.

Callose in leptoid cell walls of the moss Polytrichum and the evolution of callose synthase across bryophytes [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionLeptoids, 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.

ZmMS39 encodes a callose synthase essential for male fertility in maize (Zea mays L.)

Crop Journal, 2023
Callose contributes to many biological processes of higher plants including pollen development, cell plate and vascular tissue formation, as well as regulating the transport function of plasmodesmata. The functions of callose synthase genes in maize have

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 ...

Defense-related callose synthase PMR4 promotes root hair callose deposition and adaptation to phosphate deficiency in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

Plant J, 2023
Plants acquire phosphorus (P) primarily as inorganic phosphate (Pi) from the soil. Under Pi deficiency, plants induce an array of physiological and morphological responses, termed phosphate starvation response (PSR), thereby increasing Pi acquisition and

The effect of silicon supplementation and drought stress on the deposition of callose and chemical components in the cell walls of the Brassica napus roots [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Silicon has an important role in regulating water management in plants. It is deposited in cell walls and creates a mechanical barrier against external factors.

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
