Preferred Label : plant lectins; 
MeSH definition : Protein or glycoprotein substances of plant origin that bind to sugar moieties in
               cell walls or membranes. Some carbohydrate-metabolizing proteins (ENZYMES) from PLANTS
               also bind to carbohydrates, however they are not considered lectins. Many plant lectins
               change the physiology of the membrane of BLOOD CELLS to cause agglutination, mitosis,
               or other biochemical changes. They may play a role in plant defense mechanisms.;
