Activity of lectins of winter wheat seedlings infected with mycoplasma and treated with salicylic acid

Abstract

Changes in activity of soluble and cell wall lectins have been revealed in seedlings of winter wheat Triticum aestivum L. cultivar Mironovskaya 808 after infection with mycoplasma Acholeplasma laidlawii 118. The protective effect of salicylic acid was manifested as negating the bursts of lectin activity induced by mycoplasma infection. © 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
