Abstract excerpt
Fertilization is a key event for sexually reproducing plants. Pollen-stigma adhesion, which is the first step in male-female interaction during fertilization, requires proper pollen wall patterning. Callose, which is a β-1.3-glucan, is an essential polysaccharide that is required for pollen development and pollen wall formation. Mutations in CALLOSE SYNTHASE 5 (CalS5) disrupt male meiotic callose accumulation;...
