Abstract: | Carrot (Daucus carota L.) cell suspensions were treated witha spirostanol saponin from Yucca. This saponin is an elicitorof callose synthesis. Irrespectively of the mode of action ofspirostanol on the callose synthase activity itself, the spirostanol-inducedcallose synthesis in carrot is not preceded by changes in membranepotential, cytosolic free calcium or cytosolic pH. The inabilityof modulators of cytosolic free calcium content (verapamil,nifedipine and Br-A23187), EGTA and a proton pump inhibitor(vanadate) to inhibit or induce callose formation is consistentwith a calcium- and pH-independent mechanism for callose deposition.
