In contemporary biological research, bioinformatics and computational biology are essential
fields that can help biologists solve and understand complex biological problems and …

Lectins are multivalent carbohydrate binding proteins that specifically recognise diverse
sugar structures and mediate a variety of biological processes, such as cell-cell and host …

Lectins are present throughout the plant kingdom and are reported to be involved in diverse
biological processes. In this study, we provide a comparative analysis of the lectin families …

Because of differences in molecular structure, biochemical properties, and carbohydrate
binding specificity, lectins are considered a complex and heterogeneous group of proteins …

Motivation and Aim: Lectin domains are a group of different structural units of proteins
capable to specifically recognize carbohydrate structures. They are found in combination …

For more than three decades, Arabidopsis thaliana served as a model for plant biology
research. At present only a few protein families have been studied in detail in Arabidopsis …

Background Lectins are a class of carbohydrate-binding proteins. They play roles in various
biological processes. However, little is known about their evolutionary history and their …

As one of the largest classes of lectins, legume lectins have a variety of desirable features
such as antibacterial and insecticidal activities as well as anti-abiotic stress ability. The …

Background Lectin receptor-like kinases (Lec-RLKs), a subfamily of RLKs, have been
demonstrated to play an important role in signal transduction from cell wall to the plasma …

Lectins are ubiquitous proteins in plants and play important roles in a diverse set of
biological processes, such as plant defense and cell signaling. Despite the availability of the …
