Journal ArticleDOI
Plant lectins as defense proteins against phytophagous insects
TL;DR: It can be concluded that some insecticidal lectins are useful tools that can contribute to the development of integrated pest management strategies with minimal effect(s) on non-target organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant lectins are potent inhibitors of coronaviruses by interfering with two targets in the viral replication cycle.

TL;DR: The antiviral activity of plant lectins with specificity for different glycan structures against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) in vitro is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lectin domains at the frontiers of plant defense
TL;DR: This review provides an overview on plant lectin motifs used in the constant battle against pathogens and predators during plant defenses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytoplasmic/nuclear plant lectins: a new story.
TL;DR: The location and the regulation of the expression of these lectins indicate that Lectins are involved in specific endogenous protein–carbohydrate interactions, leading to the challenging idea that lectins might be involved in cellular regulation and signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant-insect interactions: what can we learn from plant lectins?
TL;DR: The recent technological advances in the analysis of lectin carbohydrate specificities and insect glycobiology will certainly lead to new insights in the interactions between plant lectins and insects, and to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved.
