Abstract
Plant tissue cultures established from isolated embryos or cotyledons were used to investigate the lectin biosynthesis inCanavalia virosa. The lectin (CVL) was detected by double immunodiffusion and hemagglutination tests. CVL was present in all callus cultures. The stem and leaf of the plantlet generated from the embryo also contain CVL, but no CVL was detected in the roots. As compared to mature seeds, callus derived from cotyledon of immature seeds exhibited the largest CVL content.
