CalS7 encodes a callose synthase responsible for callose deposition in the phloem [PDF]
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 (

Novel localization of callose in the spores of Physcomitrella patens and phylogenomics of the callose synthase gene family [PDF]
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 ...

Sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Quantification of Callose
The existing methods of callose quantification include epifluorescence microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometry of aniline blue-stained callose particles, immuno-fluorescence microscopy and indirect assessment of both callose synthase and β-(1,3 ...

Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) mapping for callose synthases in intergeneric hybrids of Citrus challenged with the bacteria Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus [PDF]
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.

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.

The plasmodesmal protein PDLP1 localises to haustoria-associated membranes during downy mildew infection and regulates callose deposition [PDF]
The downy mildew pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (Hpa) is a filamentous oomycete that invades plant cells via sophisticated but poorly understood structures called haustoria.

Callose Synthase Family Genes Involved in the Grapevine Defense Response to Downy Mildew Disease. [PDF]
The deposition of callose is a common plant defense response to intruding pathogens and part of the plant’s innate immunity. In this study, eight grapevine callose synthase (CalS) genes were identified and characterized. To investigate biological function of CalS in grapevine against the infection of Plasmopara viticola, expression patterns of ...

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 ...
