Boosting photosynthetic machinery and defense priming with chitosan application on tomato plants infected with <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>lycopersici</i>
2020-08-19
Abstract excerpt
Physiological processes of plants infected by vascular pathogens are mainly affected by vascular bundle obstruction, decreasing the absorption of water and nutrients and gas exchange by stomatal closure, and inducing oxidative cascades and PSII alterations. Chitosan, a derivative of chitin present in the cell wall of some organisms including fungi, induces plant defense responses, activating systemic resistance. I...
