Abstract
A screening survey of 41 plants revealed potent translational inhibito ry activities in 19 plant species belonging to several different famil ies, some of them hitherto unreported. Our results indicate that the a ctive principles were ribosome-inactivating proteins. Additionally, hu man erythrocyte-agglutinating activity was found in 20 plants.
