Cell wall reinforcement with callose is a frequent plant response to infection. Poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a protein post-translational modification mediated by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs).

Cotton fiber annexins: a potential role in the regulation of callose synthase [PDF]
SummaryCotton fibers contain a characteristic set of proteins which interact with plasma membranes in a Ca2+‐dependent manner. The association of these proteins with the membrane is correlated with a reduced level of UDP‐glucose: (1→3)‐β‐glucan (callose) synthase activity.

Xanthan pyruvilation is essential for the virulence of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris [PDF]
Xanthan, the main exopolysaccharide (EPS) synthesized by Xanthomonas spp., contributes to bacterial stress tolerance and enhances attachment to plant surfaces by helping in biofilm formation.

Stimulation of Callose Synthesis in Vivo Correlates with Changes in Intracellular Distribution of the Callose Synthase Activator [beta]-Furfuryl-[beta]-Glucoside [PDF]
[beta]-Furfuryl-[beta]-glucoside (FG) has been shown to be a specific endogenous activator of higher plant callose synthase (P. Ohana, D.P. Delmer, G. Volman, J.C. Steffens, D.E. Matthews, M. Benziman [1992] Plant Physiol 98: 708-715). Because glycosides such as FG are usually sequestered in vacuoles, we have proposed that activation of callose ...

Biochar-amended potting medium reduces the susceptibility of rice to root-knot nematode infections [PDF]
Background: Biochar is a solid coproduct of biomass pyrolysis, and soil amended with biochar has been shown to enhance the productivity of various crops and induce systemic plant resistance to fungal pathogens.

LAP3, a novel plant protein required for pollen development, is essential for proper exine formation [PDF]
We isolated lap3-1 and lap3-2 mutants in ascreen for pollen that displays abnormal stigma binding.Unlike wild-type pollen, lap3-1 and lap3-2 pollen exine isthinner, weaker, and is missing some connections betweentheir roof-like tectum structures.

Chitin perception in plasmodesmata characterizes submembrane immune-signaling specificity in plants [PDF]
The plasma membrane (PM) is composed of heterogeneous subdomains, characterized by differences in protein and lipid composition. PM receptors can be dynamically sorted into membrane domains to underpin signaling in response to extracellular stimuli.

Callose Synthase GSL7 Is Necessary for Normal Phloem Transport and Inflorescence Growth in Arabidopsis [PDF]
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 ...

Cellulose biosynthesis in higher plants
Knowledge of the control and regulation of cellulose synthesis is fundamental to an understanding of plant development since cellulose is the primary structural component of plant cell walls.
