The Arabidopsis Callose Synthase Gene GSL8 Is Required for Cytokinesis and Cell Patterning     [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2009
Abstract Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm and its separation into two daughter cells. Cell plate growth and cytokinesis appear to require callose, but direct functional evidence is still lacking. To determine the role of callose and its synthesis during cytokinesis, we identified and characterized mutants in many members of ...

Callose (β-1,3 glucan) is essential for Arabidopsis pollen wall patterning, but not tube growth [PDF]

, 2005
Background: Callose (β-1,3 glucan) separates developing pollen grains, preventing their underlying walls (exine) from fusing. The pollen tubes that transport sperm to female gametes also contain callose, both in their walls as well as in the plugs that ...

The making of gametes in higher plants [PDF]

, 2005
Higher plants have evolved to be one of the predominant life forms on this planet. A great deal of this evolutionary success relies in a very short gametophytic phase which underlies the sexual reproduction cycle. Sexual plant reproduction takes place in

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.

Protein phosphatase AP2C1 negatively regulates basal resistance and defense responses to Pseudomonas syringae [PDF]

, 2017
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) mediate plant immune responses to pathogenic bacteria. However, less is known about the cell autonomous negative regulatory mechanism controlling basal plant immunity. We report the biological role of Arabidopsis

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Plasmodesmata-Involved Battle Against Pathogens and Potential Strategies for Strengthening Hosts

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Plasmodesmata (PD) are membrane-lined pores that connect adjacent cells to mediate symplastic communication in plants. These intercellular channels enable cell-to-cell trafficking of various molecules essential for plant development and stress responses,

Current Trends, Future Prospects and Constraints of Whole Microalgae and Their Fractions as a Functional Feed Ingredient for Animals

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgae are a highly diverse group of unicellular organisms that grow in a wide range of aquatic environments and are widely used as dietary supplements for both human and animal applications. Microalgae are rich in lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and other valuable bioactive components such as pigments, antioxidants and vitamins.

An expanded role of the SNARE-containing regulon as it relates to the defense process that Glycine max has to Heterodera glycines

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2019
The defense regulon has been defined genetically in Arabidopsis thaliana to involve the syntaxin PENETRATION1 (PEN1), the secreted glucosidase (PEN2) and an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter (PEN3).

Interplay between JA, SA and ABA isgnalling during basal and induced resistance against pseudomonas syringae and Alternaria brasicicola [PDF]

, 2008
We have examined the role of the callose synthase PMR4 in basal resistance and β‐aminobutyric acid‐induced resistance (BABA‐IR) of Arabidopsis thaliana against the hemi‐biotrophic pathogen Pseudomonas syringae and the necrotrophic pathogen Alternaria ...
