•Plant lectins are a diverse group, present in multiple cell compartments.•Lectin domains can be linked to other protein domains.•Lectins are versatile, more than carbohydrate-binding proteins.•Lectins play roles in plant immunity, stress signaling, gene regulation, defense. For decades, the biologi...
