Exposure to heavy metal stress regulates intercellular signaling via
callose deposition and breakdown.
We will investigate how the cell wall glycan
callose at the neck of PD is both integrated with the surrounding cell wall molecular architectures involving pectins, xyloglucans and cellulose microfibrils and also how modulations of
callose levels (known to impact on PD transport) are orchestrated with the surrounding cell wall glycans to control PD mechanical properties.
Petiole 5-9 mm long, glabrous; leaf blade narrowly ovate, 5-6(-11) x 1.8-2.2(-2.8) cm, 3-4 times as long as wide, thick, glabrous on both surfaces, glaucescent on the lower surface, base obtuse to round, slightly asymmetric, apex acute to acuminate, margin subentire, with 5-12
callose, white (in vivo) intramarginal teeth evenly distributed on each side, main vein prominulous above, impressed beneath, second and higher order veins inconspicuous except by the 5-6 pairs of secondary veins slightly prominulous on the upper surface, submarginal vein lacking.

Callose synthesis as a tool to screen chitosan efficacy in inducing plant resistance to pathogens.
The presence of galactooligosaccharides, cellulose, lignin, and
callose in the cambium is very favorable for growth of bacterial phylum Firmicutes that predominates in summer time.
A berberine-aniline blue fluorescent staining procedure for suberine, lignin, and
callose in plant tissue.
Previous study was applied on Tetraploid Red Clover (Trifolium pratense L.) pollen which showed present abnormalities pollen tube as bifurcated monosphonic pollen tube, pollen tube with a wavy structure, pollen tube due to cytoplasm deposition and wall swelling, pollen tube with thickened walls, pollen tube with
callose formation at its tips and
Callose plugs formed in pollen tube cytoplasm, but this research did not mention percentage of each type.

Multi-membrane spanning Gts (cellulose and
callose synthases) are typically associated with the plasma membrane, while both Gts classes type II and multimembrane spanning have been found in Golgi stacks where they are likely involved in the biosynthesis of complex [beta]-glycan polymers [7-9].
The first barrier against the entering of heavy metals, especially regarding root level, is the immobilization of heavy metals in the cell wall and by extracellular carbohydrates, such as mucilage and
callose (FRITZ, 2007; KARTEL et al., 1999), avoiding the presence of free ions in root tissues and, consequently, the translocation of ions to shoots, thereby reducing phytotoxicity.
