Regulation of callose synthase activity
BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background The cell wall component callose is mainly synthesized at certain developmental stages and after wounding or pathogen attack. Callose synthases are membrane-bound enzymes that have been relatively well characterized in vitro using isolated ...

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

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 ...

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 BiologyBackground 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.

Developmental evolution of flowering plant pollen tube cell walls: callose synthase (
EvoDevo, 2011 Background A number of innovations underlie the origin of rapid reproductive cycles in angiosperms. A critical early step involved the modification of an ancestrally short and slow-growing pollen tube for faster and longer distance transport of sperm to ...

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.

Exocyst Subunit EXO70H4 Has a Specific Role in Callose Synthase Secretion and Silica Accumulation1[OPEN] [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2018 Biogenesis of the plant secondary cell wall involves many important aspects, such as phenolic compound deposition and often silica encrustation. Previously, we demonstrated the importance of the exocyst subunit EXO70H4 for biogenesis of the trichome secondary cell wall, namely for deposition of the autofluorescent and callose-rich cell wall layer. Here,

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
