Isolation and partial characterization of an N-acetylgalactosamine-specific lectin from winter-aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) root tubers. [PDF]
A lectin was isolated from root tubers of winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) by affinity chromatography on fetuin-agarose, and it was partially characterized with respect to its biochemical, physicochemical and carbohydrate-binding properties. The Eranthis hyemalis lectin is a dimeric protein (Mr 62000) composed of two different subunits of Mr 30000 ...

Stem girdling affects the onset of autumn senescence in aspen in interaction with metabolic signals
Abstract Autumn senescence in aspen (Populus tremula) is precisely timed every year to relocate nutrients from leaves to storage organs before winter. Here we demonstrate how stem girdling, which leads to the accumulation of photosynthates in the crown, influences senescence.
