Characterization of lectins from wheat seedlings infected with Fusarium graminearum and treated by jasmonic acid [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2023 Fusarium head blight is one of the most serious diseases of wheat caused by a range of Fusarium fungi, which infects the heads of the crop, reducing grain yield.

Lectins as Plant Defense Proteins [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1995 Many plant species contain carbohydrate-binding proteins, which are commonly referred to as either lectins or agglutinins. Generally speaking, lectins are proteins that bind reversibly to specific monoor oligosaccharides. Since the initial discovery of a hemagglutinating factor in castor bean extracts by Stillmark in 1888, several hundred of these ...

Lectin domains at the frontiers of plant defense
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Plants are under constant attack from pathogens and herbivorous insects. To protect and defend themselves, plants evolved a multi-layered surveillance system, known as the innate immune system.

Lectindb: a plant lectin database [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2006 Lectins, a class of carbohydrate-binding proteins, are now widely recognized to play a range of crucial roles in many cell-cell recognition events triggering several important cellular processes. They encompass different members that are diverse in their sequences, structures, binding site architectures, quaternary structures, carbohydrate affinities ...

Promiscuity of the Euonymus Carbohydrate-Binding Domain
Biomolecules, 2012 Plants synthesize small amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins on exposure to stress. For example, on exposure to drought, high salt, wounding and by treatment with some plant hormones or by pathogen attack. In contrast to the ‘classical’ plant lectins
