A screening survey of 41 plants revealed potent translational inhibitory activities in 19 plant species belonging to several different families, some of them hitherto unreported. Our results indicate that the active principles were ribosome-inactivating proteins. Additionally, human erythrocyte-agglutinating activity was found in 20 plants.
