Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the Ability of Partially N-acetylated Chitosans and Chitooligosaccharides to Elicit Resistance Reactions in Wheat Leaves
Peter Vander,Kjell M. Vårum,Alain Domard,Nour Eddine El Gueddari,Bruno M. Moerschbacher,Bruno M. Moerschbacher +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that different mechanisms are involved in the elicitation of POD activities by GlcNAc oligomers, and of PAL and Pod activities by partially N-acetylated chitosan polymers and that both enzymes have to be activated for lignin biosynthesis and ensuing necrosis to occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmentally regulated conversion of surface‐exposed chitin to chitosan in cell walls of plant pathogenic fungi
TL;DR: Surface modification of the fungal cell walls by chitin de- N -acetylation is discussed as a fungal strategy to protect cell walls of pathogenic hyphae from enzymatic hydrolysis by host chit inases, and to avoid generation of an auto-catalytic defense response system in the invaded host tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parameters influencing the size of chitosan-TPP nano- and microparticles
Sruthi Sreekumar,Francisco M. Goycoolea,Francisco M. Goycoolea,Bruno M. Moerschbacher,Gustavo R. Rivera-Rodriguez +4 more
TL;DR: By controlling two simple factors of the polymer solution, namely its initial concentration and its solvent environment, it is feasible to control in a reproducible manner the production and characteristics of chitosan particles ranging in size from nano- to micrometres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complexation of copper(II) with chitosan nanogels: Toward control of microbial growth
TL;DR: The suitability of these copper(II)-chitosan colloids as a new generation of copper-based bio-pesticides, i.e. as a bio-compatible, bio-active and pH-sensitive delivery system, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific Inhibition of Lignification Breaks Hypersensitive Resistance of Wheat to Stem Rust
TL;DR: Treatment with any of the cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitors decreased the frequency of lignified necrotic host cells and concomitantly led to increased fungal growth, pointing to a causal relationship between the formation of lIGNin precursors and the resistance of wheat to stem rust.
