Overexpression of Nictaba-Like Lectin Genes from Glycine max Confers Tolerance towards Pseudomonas syringae Infection, Aphid Infestation and Salt Stress in Transgenic Arabidopsis Plants
Plants have evolved a sophisticated immune system that allows them to recognize invading pathogens by specialized receptors.Carbohydrate-binding proteins or lectins are part of this immune system and especially the flex 4 heartworm test lectins that reside in the nucleocytoplasmic compartment are known to be implicated in biotic and abiotic stress
