Immunolocalization of the Lectins P2 and P4 from Dioclea lehmanni Seeds

Abstract

Intracellular localization of the lectins P2 and P4 from Dioclea lehmanni in developing cotyledons and in mature embryo axis were analyzed by the immunogold method. In parenchyma cells of the mature cotyledons both lectins were found in the protein bodies, whereas in immature cotyledons and in mature embryo axis these lectins were exclusively localized in the vacuoles.
