Chitosan is a natural biopolymer modified from chitins which act as a potential biostimulant
and elicitor in agriculture. It is non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible which favors …

Chitosan (CHT) is a natural, safe, and cheap product of chitin deacetylation, widely used by
several industries because of its interesting features. The availability of industrial quantities …

Chitin and chitosan are naturally-occurring compounds that have potential in agriculture with

Consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of regular consumption of fresh fruit in
their diet. Since fresh fruit are highly sensitive to postharvest decay, several investigations …

Chitosan, a deacetylated chitin derivative, behaves like a general elicitor, inducing a non-
host resistance and priming a systemic acquired immunity. The defence responses elicited …

Immunity represents a trait common to all living organisms, and animals and plants share
some similarities. Therefore, in susceptible host plants, complex defence machinery may be …

Increased endogenous chitosan (CTS) could be associated with improved drought
resistance in white clover (Trifolium repens). Plants were pretreated with or without 1 mg/mL …
