【 摘 要 】

Sequence studies were performed on lectins from two non-leguminous plants: rice and nettle. Extensive homologies were found between these two proteins and wheat germ agglutinin in support of the conservation of lectin sequences among non-leguminous plants. The number and positions of the cysteine residues were particularly well conserved suggesting a similar folding of the polypeptide chains.
