Journal ArticleDOI
An Arabidopsis Callose Synthase, GSL5, Is Required for Wound and Papillary Callose Formation
Andrew Jacobs,Andrew Jacobs,Volker Lipka,Rachel A. Burton,Ralph Panstruga,Nicolai Strizhov,Paul Schulze-Lefert,Geoffrey B. Fincher +7 more
TL;DR: Depletion of callose from papillae in gsl5 plants marginally enhanced the penetration of the grass powdery mildew fungus Blumeria graminis on the nonhost Arabidopsis, providing strong genetic evidence that the GSL genes of higher plants encode proteins that are essential for callose formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity in the chemistry, structure and function of plant cell walls
TL;DR: The origins of cell wall heterogeneity are considered and contributing factors that are inherent in the molecular mechanisms of polysaccharide biosynthesis are identified and are crucial for the changing biological functions of the wall during growth and development are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose Synthase-Like CslF Genes Mediate the Synthesis of Cell Wall (1,3;1,4)-ß-d-Glucans
Rachel A. Burton,Sarah M. Wilson,Maria Hrmova,Andrew Harvey,Neil J. Shirley,Anne Medhurst,Bruce A. Stone,Ed Newbigin,Antony Bacic,Geoffrey B. Fincher +9 more
TL;DR: Comparison genomics has used comparative genomics to link a major quantitative trait locus for (1,3;1,4)-β-d-glucan content in barley grain to a cluster of cellulose synthase–like CslF genes in rice.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CesA gene family of barley. Quantitative analysis of transcripts reveals two groups of co-expressed genes
TL;DR: Two groups of genes fall into two general groups of three genes with respect to mRNA abundance, and the co-expression of the groups identifies their products as candidates for the rosettes that are involved in cellulose biosynthesis at the plasma membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virus-Induced Silencing of a Plant Cellulose Synthase Gene
Rachel A. Burton,David M. Gibeaut,Antony Bacic,Kim Findlay,Keith Roberts,Andrew Hamilton,David C. Baulcombe,Geoffrey B. Fincher +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that virus-induced gene silencing silenced one or more cellulose synthase genes in Nicotiana benthamiana by inserting cDNA fragments into potato virus X vectors, suggesting that feedback loops interconnect the cellular machinery controlling cellulose and pectin biosynthesis.
