Cellular mechanisms of callose deposition induced in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) leaves by the living cowpea rust fungus (Uromyces vignae), boric acid, or the fungus killed by polyoxin D, were investigated by the use of chemical inhibitors. Effects of the inhibitors were observed in both a resistant and a susceptible cowpea cultivar. The effect of inhibitors differed depending on the type of callose-inducing stimulus and cultivar used. Inhibitors of transcription (actinomycin D) and protein synthesis (blasticidin S, cycloheximide) lowered the incidence of fungus-induced callose deposits in both cultivars. Inhibitors of protein synthesis also reduced deposits induced by boric acid or fungal death. Callose deposition induced by the living fungus in the resistant cultivar was reduced by inhibitors of protein glycosylation (tunicamycin, deoxynojirimycin) and microfilament function (cytochalasins B and E), but these inhibitors had no effect on callose deposition in the susceptible cultivar or on chemical or fun...
