Lectins are proteins with a high degree of stereospecificity to recognize various sugar
structures and form reversible linkages upon interaction with glyco-conjugate complexes …

The study of the interactions between plants and their microbial communities in the
rhizosphere is important for developing sustainable management practices and agricultural …

Microorganisms are found everywhere, and they are closely associated with plants.
Because the establishment of any plant–microbe association involves chemical …

The perpetuation of symbioses through host generations relies on symbiont transmission.
Horizontally transmitted symbionts are taken up from the environment anew by each host …

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 …

Legume plants are able to engage in root nodule symbiosis with nitrogen‐fixing soil
bacteria, collectively called rhizobia. This mutualistic association is highly specific, such that …

Soil salinity is a major abiotic stress that limits plant growth and agriculture productivity. To
cope with salt stress, plants have evolved complex salt-responsive signaling and metabolic …

One of the most important direct defense responses in plants against the attack by
phytophagous insects is the production of insecticidal peptides or proteins. One particular …

Lectins are proteins extensively used in biomedical applications with property to recognize
carbohydrates through carbohydrate‐binding sites, which identify glycans attached to cell …

Lectin receptor-like kinases (LecRLKs), a plant-specific receptor-like kinase (RLK) sub-
family, have been recently found to play crucial roles in plant development and responses to …
