Lectins of cotton were isolated from either resistant or susceptible seed cultivars. In agar‐gel double diffusion tests, positive reactions took place between lectins of cotton cultivars and the antisera of their corresponding wilt Fusaria. The number of precipitin bands correlated with the degree of susceptibility of the tested cultivars. On the other hand, no visible reaction was detected when these antisera were subjected to react with either the resistant host or nonhost lectins.
