Callose, B-1,3-glucan, a component of cell walls, is associated with phloem sieve plates, plasmodesmata, and other cell wall structures that are formed in response to wounding or infection. Callose reacts with aniline blue to form a fluorescent complex that can be recognized in the light microscope with ultraviolet illumination. We have identified callose in cell wall protuberances that are formed spontaneously in suspension-cultured cells of S. tortuosus and in the tips of root hairs formed in sterile callus cultures of S. tortuosus. Callose deposits in root hairs are restricted to root hair tips which appear to be damaged or deformed, while normal root hair tips lack callose deposits. The callose deposits found in suspension culture cells are restricted to regions where unusual outgrowths or protuberances are formed on the cell surfaces, specifically regions that are the sites of new cell wall formation.Callose formation has been shown to be regulated by intracellular calcium levels.

Abstract Background: SYP71, the plant-specific Qc-SNARE protein, is reported to regulate vesicle trafficking. SYP71 is localized on the ER, endosome, plasma membrane and cell plate, suggesting its multiple functions. Lotus SYP71 is essential for symbiotic nitrogen fixation in nodules. AtSYP71, GmSYP71 and OsSYP71 are implicated in plant resistance to pathogenesis. To date, SYP71 regulatory role on plant development remain unclear.Results: AtSYP71-knockout mutant atsyp71-4 was lethal at early development stage. Early development of AtSYP71-knockdown mutant atsyp71-2 was delayed, and stress response was also affected. Confocal images revealed that protein secretion was blocked in atsyp71-2. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that metabolism, response to environmental stimuli pathways and apoplast components were influenced in atsyp71-2. Moreover, the contents of lignin, cellulose and flavonoids as well as cell wall structures were also altered.Conclusion: Our findings suggested that AtSYP71 is essential for plant development. AtSYP71 probably regulates plant development, metabolism and environmental adaptation by affecting cell wall homeostasis via mediating secretion of materials and regulators required for cell wall biosynthesis and dynamics.

Abstract Growth of etiolated Arabidopsis hypocotyls is biphasic. During the first phase, cells elongate slowly and synchronously. At 48 h after imbibition, cells at the hypocotyl base accelerate their growth. Subsequently, this rapid elongation propagates through the hypocotyl from base to top. It is largely unclear what regulates the switch from slow to fast elongation. Reverse genetics-based screening for hypocotyl phenotypes identified three independent mutant lines of At1g70990, a short extensin (EXT) family protein that we named EXT33, with shorter etiolated hypocotyls during the slow elongation phase. However, at 72 h after imbibition, these dark-grown mutant hypocotyls start to elongate faster than the wild type (WT). As a result, fully mature 8-day-old dark-grown hypocotyls were significantly longer than WTs. Mutant roots showed no growth phenotype. In line with these results, analysis of native promoter-driven transcriptional fusion lines revealed that, in dark-grown hypocotyls, expression occurred in the epidermis and cortex and that it was strongest in the growing part. Confocal and spinning disk microscopy on C-terminal protein-GFP fusion lines localized the EXT33-protein to the ER and cell wall. Fourier-transform infrared microspectroscopy identified subtle changes in cell wall composition between WT and the mutant, reflecting altered cell wall biomechanics measured by constant load extensometry. Our results indicate that the EXT33 short EXT family protein is required during the first phase of dark-grown hypocotyl elongation and that it regulates the moment and extent of the growth acceleration by modulating cell wall extensibility.
