The term callose originates from cytochemical observations. Over the last hundred years many examples have been reported where staining and fluorescence techniques reveal that certain cell-wall appositions appear to consist of substances distinct from the materials which usually constitute the cell walls of higher plants (for a review on the early microscopical work see Eschrich 1956). Later it was shown that these staining properties are due to the presence of essentially linear 1, 3-p-glucans (for citations see Fincher and Stone 1981; Evans et al. 1984), although some other linkages may be present (Hinch and Clarke 1982). The term callose is now used synonymously for linear 1, 3-p-glucans exhibiting a degree of polymerization high enough to render the polymer water-insoluble. Callose deposition may occur in the course of regular developmental steps, such as the elongation of pollen tubes, or during pollen maturation. More spectacular is an often rather rapid and precisely localized callose formation which is believed to seal cells and tissues after stress situations of various kinds. Examples are the closing of connections that unite protoplasts of contiguous cells (such as plasmadesmata or sieve pores), the formation of papillae at the sites of attempted invasion of host cells by fungal hyphae, and the rejection of self-incompatible pollen (for citations see Eschrich 1956; Fincher and Stone 1981; Kauss 1985, 1987).
