The multifarious role of callose and callose synthase in plant development and environment interactions [PDF]
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.

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

RNAi-Mediated Attenuation of CsCalS7-Related Transcripts Mitigates Callose Accumulation and Huanglongbing Symptoms. [PDF]
Partial CsCalS7 suppression reduces phloem callose, starch accumulation and huanglongbing symptoms, supporting a threshold‐based host tolerance. ABSTRACT Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most destructive citrus disease worldwide and is characterised by excessive callose deposition at sieve plates, which has been associated with impaired carbohydrate ...

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 ...

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
