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 ...

The maize callose synthase SLM1 is critical for a normal growth by controlling the vascular development. [PDF]
Mol Breed, 2023 Callose, mainly deposited at the cell plate and in the newly formed cell wall at a very low level, is critical for cell activity and growth in plants. The genetic control and function of callose synthases, responsible for the synthesis of callose, are largely unknown in maize.

An Arabidopsis Callose Synthase, GSL5, Is Required for Wound and Papillary Callose Formation [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2003 Arabidopsis was transformed with double-stranded RNA interference (dsRNAi) constructs designed to silence three putative callose synthase genes: GLUCAN SYNTHASE-LIKE5 (GSL5), GSL6, and GSL11. Both wound callose and papillary callose were absent in lines transformed with GSL5 dsRNAi and in a corresponding sequence-indexed GSL5 T-DNA insertion line but ...

Loss of PMR4 callose synthase triggers jasmonic acid-dependent resistance to the clubroot disease in Arabidopsis and Brassica napus. [PDF]
Plant CellClubroot caused by the protist pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin is a major disease in Brassicaceae crops. Growing clubroot-resistant cultivars remains the most effective and practical control strategy, but diverse or emerging pathotypes can ...

Distribution of Callose Synthase, Cellulose Synthase, and Sucrose Synthase in Tobacco Pollen Tube Is Controlled in Dissimilar Ways by Actin Filaments and Microtubules [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2010 Abstract Callose and cellulose are fundamental components of the cell wall of pollen tubes and are probably synthesized by distinct enzymes, callose synthase and cellulose synthase, respectively. We examined the distribution of callose synthase and cellulose synthase in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) pollen tubes in relation to the dynamics

Callose Synthase GSL7 Is Necessary for Normal Phloem Transport and Inflorescence Growth in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2010 Abstract One isoform of callose synthase, Glucan Synthase-Like7 (GSL7), is tightly coexpressed with two isoforms of sucrose synthase (SUS5 and SUS6) known to be confined to phloem sieve elements in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Investigation of the phenotype of gsl7 mutants of Arabidopsis revealed that the sieve plate pores of ...

Callose Deposition: A Multifaceted Plant Defense Response [PDF]
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2011 Callose deposition in Arabidopsis has emerged as a popular model system to quantify activity of plant immunity. However, there has been a noticeable rise in contradicting reports about the regulation of pathogen-induced callose.
