Notes:
The agglutinating effects of Concanavalin A (Con A) on protoplasts isolated from cell suspensions of Daucus carota were studied. Con A was shown to agglutinate the plant protoplasts in a manner similar to the way some animal cells are agglutinated. The agglutination process is dependent on the Concanavalin A concentration, protoplast density, treatment time, the temperature, and the membrane condition, α-D-Methylgluco-pyranosid completely inhibited Con A induced agglutination. The results are discussed in relation to membrane structure and morphology.
