title: [Carbohydrate-binding proteins--lectins and glycosidases in plants of Anthurium genus].
abstract: The content of lectins and activity of glycosidases have been estimated in seeds and vegetative organs of 5 strains of plants of Anthurium genus. In seeds of all the investigated strains lectins were detected with the selectivity toward the N-acetyl-galactosamine (minimal inhibitory concentration of sugar was 0.1-0.2 mM) and an anti-A blood group specificity. Lectins of Anthuriums selectively bound O-type glycosidic chains and revealed high affinity toward mucins (salivary or ovary cysts origin). Lectins were not detected in vegetative parts of Anthuriums. In seeds of plants the following glycosidases were detected in the diminishing activity order: alpha-galactosidase, alpha-mannosidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucosaminidase.
