The description of Galanthus lebedevae from limestone canyons foothills in south-east Sochi is presented. species belongs to series Latifolii, subseries Viridifolii (Kem.-Nath.) A. P. Davis. It shows an external morphological similarity with the sympatric Colchian G. platyphyllus, krasnovii, panjutini, and woronowii, however, it differs sharply all listed content nuclear (2C) DNA, phenology, ec...

Plants confront to various encounters involving diverse attackers amongst which aphids contribute to large amount of agricultural losses. GNA (Galanthus nivalis) domain containing monocot lectins (GNA-MLs) have received prominence as insecticidal candidates in pest management programs effective against hemipteran sap suckers. Present article provides an update on the effects and outcome of mole...

There are numerous glycoproteins recognized by Concanavalin A (ConA) and Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) in 0.35 mol/l NaCl soluble fraction of chromatin proteins loosely bound to DNA from hamster, chicken and frog liver cells. Results of our detailed comparative analysis show a marked similarity between liver chromatin glycoproteins from the examined animals. The presence of similar chromat...

Diets containing genetically modified (GM) potatoes expressing the lectin Galanthus nivalis agglutinin (GNA) had variable effects on different parts of the rat gastrointestinal tract. Some effects, such as the proliferation of the gastric mucosa, were mainly due to the expression of the GNA transgene. However, other parts of the construct or the genetic transformation (or both) could also have ...

Macrosialin (mouse CD68), a macrophage-specific member of the lysosomal-associated membrane protein family, displays N-linked glycosylation and a heavily sialylated, mucin-like domain. We show that phagocytosis of zymosan by inflammatory peritoneal macrophages potently alters glycan processing of macrosialin in vitro. The phagocytic glycoform is not induced by other forms of endocytosis and dep...
