Article Abstract
The deposition and turnover of callose (beta-1,3 glucan polymer) in the cell wall surrounding the neck regions of plasmodesmata (PD) controls the cell-to-cell diffusion rate of molecules and, therefore, plays an important role in the regulation of intercellular communication in plants.Here we describe a simple and fast in vivo staining procedure for the imaging and quantification of callose at PD. We also introduce calloseQuant, a plug-in for semiautomated image analysis and non-biased quantification of callose levels at PD using ImageJ.

UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) constitute the largest glycosyltransferase family in the plant kingdom, regulating many metabolic processes by transferring sugar moieties onto various small molecules. However, their physiological significance in plants remains largely unknown. Here, we reveal the functions and mechanisms of two Arabidopsis UGT genes, UGT73C3 and UGT73C4, which are strongly induced by Pseudomonas syringae pv.

Callose, a β-(1,3)-d-glucan polymer, is essential for regulating intercellular trafficking via plasmodesmata (PD). Pathogens manipulate PD-localized proteins to enable intercellular trafficking by removing callose at PD or, conversely, by increasing callose accumulation at PD to limit intercellular trafficking during infection. Plant defense hormones like salicylic acid regulate PD-localized proteins to control PD and intercellular trafficking during immune defense responses such as systemic acquired resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Existing callose quantification methods, such as epifluorescence microscopy and immuno-fluorescence, can often be complex, time-consuming, and lacking specificity.
- The study introduces a new method called Sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (S-ELISA) for quantifying callose levels in banana plant tissues after bacterial inoculation.
- This S-ELISA method is efficient, specific to callose, reproducible, and suitable for high-throughput studies, making it a promising alternative to traditional methods.

Salicylic acid (SA) is a crucial hormone involved in plant immunity. Rice (Oryza sativa) maintains high SA levels that are not induced by pathogens. However, the roles of SA in rice immunity and yield remain largely unknown.
