Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Pbr017224.1
• Gene Symbol: PbrCalS5
• Gene Name: Callose synthase
• Genome:
• Species: Pyrus bretschneideri

Functional Descriptions:

• PbrCalS5, a callose synthase protein, is involved in pollen tube growth in Pyrus bretschneideri.
• Subcellular localization indicated that PbrCalS5 was localized in the plasma membrane and cell wall.
• Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (AS-ODN) assays resulted in the inhibition of PbrCalS5 expression, leading to the decreased callose deposition in the pollen tube wall and subsequent inhibition of pear pollen tube growth.
• PbrCalS5 could moderately promote pollen tube growth, and play an important role in achieving fertilization. It also provides a basis for future molecular breeding.
