Chapter
Expression of Legume Lectin Genes
Legume lectins are a homologous group of sugar binding proteins. Sugar binding is specific, since, for example, pea lectin (PSL) binds mannose and soybean lectin (SBL) binds N-acetyl-galactosamine. Legume lect...

Distribution of glucose/mannose-specific isolectins in pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings
We report on the distribution and initial characterization of glucose/mannose-specific isolectins of 4- and 7-d-old pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings grown with or without nitrate supply. Particular attention was ...

Correlation between infection by Rhizobium leguminosarum and lectin on the surface of Pisum sativum L. roots
The lectin on the surface of 4- and 5-dold pea roots was located by the use of indirect immunofluorescence. Specific antibodies raised in rabbits against pea seed isolectin 2, which crossreact with root lectin...

Attachment of Rhizobium Leguminosarum to Pea Root Hair Tips
Nodulation in the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis is a host plant-specific process. The speciation of the genus Rhizobium is primarily based on the existence of different so-called cross-inoculation groups, e.g. R. me...

Determination of pea (Pisum sativum L.) root lectin using an enzyme-linked immunoassay
Root lectins are believed to participate in the recognition between Rhizobium and its leguminous host plant. Among other factors, testing this hypothesis is difficult because of the very low amounts in which root...
