Abstract
Sugar specific binding of peanut root lectin (PRA II) to peanut specif ic bradyrhizobial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) was demonstrated by gel re tardation assay and lectin based ELISA. Sephadex G-50 gel purified hig h molecular weight polysaccharides from NC 92 LPS bind PRA II most eff iciently. Binding of NC 92 LPS only to PRA II and not to PNA, SEA and PSL by Western blot analysis suggests that this lectin-LPS interaction is tissue as well as species specific.
