Abstract excerpt
In previous studies, evidence that the Bradyrhizobium japonicum lectin, designated BJ38, mediated the observed carbohydrate-specific binding activities of the bacteria, including the saccharide-specific adhesion to soybean root cells was presented. In the present study, it is found that both B. japonicum, as well as the purified BJ38, bind predominantly to young emergent root hairs of soybean roots and, to a much...
