Evolutionary history of callose synthases in terrestrial plants with emphasis on proteins involved in male gametophyte development.

Callose is a plant-specific polysaccharide (β-1,3-glucan) playing an important role in angiosperms in many developmental processes and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Callose is synthesised at the plasma membrane of plant cells by callose synthase (CalS) and, among others, represents the m...
