Lectin of Wisteria floribunda specifically agglutinates group C streptococci. The reaction is strongly inhibited by N-acetyl-d-galactosamine, slightly by lactose, and not at all by galactose. The utility of the simple test of the lectin with group C streptococci is discussed.

Analysis of an RNA-seq strand-specific library revealed a complete genome of Hardenbergia mosaic virus (HarMV) from RNA extracted from a native wisteria (Hardenbergia comptoniana) plant from southwest Australia. We compared it with eight other complete HarMV genomes. It most resembled (85.8% nucleotide identity) the genome of HarMV isolate MD4-D.

During early neurogenesis, the floor plate plays an essential role(s) in the differentiation of the ventral portion of neural tube. In this study, we detected the specific distribution of unique glycoconjugate during the floor plate differentiation. Formalin fixed paraffin sections of BALB/c mice (10-14 embryonic days) were processed for histochemical studies using horseradish peroxidase-labell...

Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis), Glycine chinensis, is a genus of treelike deciduous lianas from the legume family (Fabaceae). In natural conditions, chinensis found in subtropical forests China, Korea and Japan. Nowadays, plant widely cultivated European countries. Leaves exhibit antioxidant,cytostatic effect, flowers inhibit growth tubercle bacilli. The seeds are used medicine to treat c...
