The function and biosynthesis of callose in high plants
Heliyon, 2022 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

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 ...

CalS7 encodes a callose synthase responsible for callose deposition in the phloem [PDF]
The Plant Journal, 2010 Summary It has been known for more than a century that sieve plates in the phloem in plants contain callose, a β‐1,3‐glucan. However, the genes responsible for callose deposition in this subcellular location have not been identified. In this paper we examine callose deposition patterns in T‐DNA insertion mutants (

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2021 Callose plays an important role in plant development and response to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses. Callose synthase (CalS; EC 2.4.1.34), the main enzyme in callose synthesis, has been studied in a number of crops but not in cucumber (Cucumis ...

Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) mapping for callose synthases in intergeneric hybrids of Citrus challenged with the bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 Citrus plants have been extremely affected by Huanglongbing (HLB) worldwide, causing economic losses. HLB disease causes disorders in citrus plants, leading to callose deposition in the phloem vessel sieve plates.

Novel localization of callose in the spores of Physcomitrella patens and phylogenomics of the callose synthase gene family [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2009 Callose involvement in spore development is a plesiomorphic feature of land plants. Correlated light, fluorescence and immuno-electron microscopy was conducted on the developing spores of Physcomitrella patens to probe for callose. Using a bioinformatic approach, the callose synthase (PpCalS) genes were annotated and PpCalS and AtCalS gene families ...

Evolutionary history of callose synthases in terrestrial plants with emphasis on proteins involved in male gametophyte development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Callose is a plant-specific polysaccharide (β-1,3-glucan) playing an important role in angiosperms in many developmental processes and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.
