Callose in leptoid cell walls of the moss Polytrichum and the evolution of callose synthase across bryophytes
IntroductionLeptoids, the food-conducting cells of polytrichaceous mosses, share key structural features with sieve elements in tracheophytes, including an elongated shape with oblique end walls containing modified plasmodesmata or pores. In tracheophytes, callose is instrumental in developing the p...
