Chitosan enhances resistance in rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), through the induction of abscisic acid (ABA)
2018-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Chitosan is considered as a natural biodegradable compound that has potential to control plant diseases. In this work, we investigated the effect of chitosan in stimulating defense responses in rubber tree against Phytophthora palmivora. Foliar spraying of either 0.2% (w/v) chitosan or 50 μM abscisic acid (ABA) were efficient in the reduction of disease severity in P. palmivora infected rubber tree. In addition, t...
