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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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

CYSTEINE-RICH RLK2 regulates development via callose synthase-dependent symplastic transport in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
CYSTEINE-RICH RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN KINASEs (CRKs) play an important role in plant development and stress responses. One of the best described members of the Arabidopsis CRK family is CRK2, which was proposed as a crucial regulator of intercellular ...
