Lectins, lectin genes, and their role in plant defense. [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1991 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that bind gly? cans of glycoproteins, glycolipids, or polysaccharides with high affinity (Goldstein and Hayes, 1978). Because of their binding specificity, they have the capability to serve as recognition molecules within a cell, between cells, or be? tween organisms. It is assumed that lectins play fundamental

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]
, 2019 In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

Differentiation-dependent glycosylation of cells in squamous cell epithelia detected by a mammalian lectin [PDF]
, 2002 The squamous stratified epithelia contain a proliferative (harboring mitotic activity) and a differentiating compartment. Due to the potential of protein-carbohyd rate interactions to regulate cellular activities we introduced a mammalian lectin to cyto-

Messages From the Past: New Insights in Plant Lectin Evolution
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Lectins are a large and diverse class of proteins, found in all kingdoms of life. Plants are known to express different types of carbohydrate-binding proteins, each containing at least one particular lectin domain which enables them to specifically ...

Optimisation of the enzyme-linked lectin assay for enhanced glycoprotein and glycoconjugate analysis [PDF]
, 2011 Lectin’s are proteins capable of recognising and binding to specific oligosaccharide tructures found on glycoproteins and other biomoloecules. As such they have found tility for glycoanalytical applications.

The carbon reactions of photosynthesis: role of lectins and glycoregulation
Photosynthetica, 2020 Modulation of glycoregulation in agriculture is reviewed here with emphasis on the elucidation of previously unknown pathways involving vacuolar lectins as well as a bypass of lectins that direct free sugars toward productivity.
