Concanavalin A, soybean (Glycine max L.) lectin, castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) lectin, and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) lectin were able to agglutinate protoplasts prepared from a variety of plant species. The seven other lectins tried were unable to agglutinate those protoplasts tested. Protoplasts prepared from 11 species were used. The lectins examined were not able to differentiate among protoplasts of different species.
