Callose, a beta-(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 innate immune defense responses such as systemic acquired resistance. Measuring callose deposition at PD in plants has therefore emerged as a popular parameter for assessing the intercellular trafficking activity during plant immunity. Despite the popularity of this metric there is no standard for how these measurements should be made. In this study, three commonly used methods for identifying and quantifying PD callose by aniline blue staining were evaluated to determine the most effective in the Nicotiana benthamiana leaf model. The results reveal that the most reliable method used aniline blue staining and fluorescent microscopy to measure callose deposition in fixed tissue. Manual or semi-automated workflows for image analysis were also compared and found to produce similar results although the semi-automated workflow produced a wider distribution of data points.
