Abstract:Lectins are ubiquitous classes of carbohydrate‐binding proteins. They serve a wide range of physiological functions in Phyto‐organisms. Among many biological significances, they play a crucial role in plant tolerance and resistance against environmental biotic and abiotic challenges. They are a component of the plant's innate immune system and defence mechanism. Lectin‐like receptor kinases (Lec‐RLK) are essential in stress sensing and saccharide signalling. Their expression can be modulated by various hormona… Show more
