Is callose required for silicification in plants?
The cell wall polymer callose catalyses the formation of silica in vitro and is heavily implicated in biological silicification in Equisetum (horsetail) and Arabidopsis (thale cress) in vivo. Callose, a β-1,3-glucan, is an ideal partner for silicification, because its amorphous structure and ephemer...
