crotalaria albida/carbohydrate

A galactose-specific lectin from seeds of Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea) has been purified by fractional precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed by biospecific affinity chromatography and preparative isoelectric focusing. The adsorbent was prepared by coupling galactose to Sepharose 6B activated

A lectin, monospecific for human blood group A red blood cells was extracted from seeds of Crotalaria striata and purified by molecular sieving on Sephadex G-100 and ion-exchange on DEAE-cellulose. A molecular mass of 30 kDa was determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under non-reducing

Crotalarin, the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine-binding blood group A-specific lectin from the seeds of Crotalaria striata was subjected to various chemical modifications in order to ascertain the amino acid residues responsible for its carbohydrate-binding property. Modification of lysine, cysteine and

Diversification of crops with species that provide suitable pollen for predators may reduce pest population on crops by enhancing predator effectiveness. In this paper we evaluated the suitability of leguminous cover crop pollens to the predatory green lacewing Chrysoperla externa (Hagen). The
