Abstract

A novel cDNA encoding a major 30-kDa protein in xylem sap of cucumber Cucumis sativus (XSP30) was homologous to the B chains of galactose-binding lectins such as ricin and abrin. XSP30 gene was specifically expressed in roots, and XSP30 was immunologically detected only in the xylem sap, but not in any organs.

Study Snapshot

Key takeawayThe novel XSP30 protein in cucumber roots is a novel lectin-like protein that is specific to xylem sap, suggesting its potential role in regulating plant growth and development.
