Abstract excerpt
Banana ( Musa spp.) is essential for food security. For its clonality is highly susceptible to pests and diseases. The wilt fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (FocTR4) threatens banana production worldwide. We notice that chitosan protects banana from biotic stress. Chitosan, a plant defence elicitor with antimicrobial activity, triggers salicylic acid (SA) and methyl salicylate biosynthes...
