Tissue specific plant lectins were searched in the seeds of 44 tropical trees of Kerala, India. Seeds of only 12 plant species showed lectin activity. N-acetyl-D-galactosamine was the best inhibitor of lectin activity for the majority of the seeds. Lectin activity in the seeds of 4 species were not inhibited by any of the mono- or polysaccharides used.
