Systemic immunity triggered by local plant–microbe interactions is studied as systemic
acquired resistance (SAR) or induced systemic resistance (ISR) depending on the site of …

Lectins are ubiquitous proteins that reversibly bind to specific carbohydrates and, thus, serve
as readers of the sugar code. In photosynthetic organisms, lectin family proteins play …

Plants respond to insect herbivory with responses broadly known as direct defenses, indirect
defenses, and tolerance. Direct defenses include all plant traits that affect susceptibility of …

Background Plants are hotbeds for parasites such as arthropod herbivores, which acquire
nutrients and energy from their hosts in order to grow and reproduce. Hence plants are …

Lectins are a diverse group of carbohydrate-binding proteins that are found within and
associated with organisms from all kingdoms of life. Several different classes of plant lectins …

For decades, the biological roles of plant lectins remained obscure and subject to
speculation. With the advent of technological and scientific progress, researchers have …

Aberrant glycans are a hallmark of cancer states. Notably, emerging evidence has
demonstrated that the diagnosis of cancers with tumour-specific glycan patterns holds great …

Lectins are a unique group of nonimmune carbohydrate-binding proteins or glycoproteins
that exhibit specific and reversible carbohydrate-binding activity in a non-catalytic manner …

Aberrant O-glycans expressed at the surface of cancer cells consist of membrane-tethered
glycoproteins (T and Tn antigens) and glycolipids (Lewis a, Lewis x and Forssman …

There is a strong need for a new broad-spectrum antiinfluenza therapeutic, as vaccination
and existing treatments are only moderately effective. We previously engineered a lectin …
